This event will take place on Monday September 23 2019 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at the green space near Florence Avenue and Wyandotte Street east in Windsor.

Sandpoint Beach Parking Lot: parking is available at the Sand Point Beach parking lot off Riverside Drive. Volunteers will walk south down the Ganatchio Trail, cross Wyandotte Street and meet at the ERCA tent at the south end of the site (approximately 15 to 20 minute walk).
Street Parking: street parking is available in the neighbourhood southeast of the site, where the intersection of Beverly Glen Street and Florence Avenue is (approximately 5 minute walk).
