In a worldwide pandemic, it may seem that seeking out new friends is the last thing on your to-do list. But we love new friends, and hope you’ll consider joining us as we seek to make strides toward a more sustainable and (ahem) pandemic-proof way to raise necessary funds to keep our neighborhood parks beautiful and accessible to all.

Although we continue to explore non-traditional alternatives, because duh, we’re Cabbagetown, we’re scrappy, it’s important to note the loss of Chomp & Stomp this year coupled with the closure of the Community Center leaves us with over a $100,000.00 tab (nope, those zeros weren’t a typo).

Unfortunately, this immense loss will impact the upkeep of neighborhood parks and our ability to hold Chomp in 2021, but, like we said earlier, Cabbagetowners are scrappy, creative and resourceful, we have the originality, time and incentive to find new solutions.

Our 2020 solution, Friends of Cabbagetown Conservancy, which establishes a sustainable revenue stream to maintain and enhance Cabbagetown Park, Esther Peachy Lefevre Park, Cabbagetown Triangle Park, the Wylie CSX Wall and the Cabbagetown Community Center.
