Celebrating the Oak Tree on National Tree Day
This summer, Oakvillegreen had a remarkable season of environmental stewardship activities, thanks to the unwavering dedication and exceptional efforts of our volunteers. We are delighted to recognize a select group of students as Oakvillegreen Youth Stewards, who participated in multiple events, gained hands-on environmental experience, and developed teamwork and leadership skills.
Torrential downpour. Streets flooding. Parks, sports fields, and golf courses closed. Power outages. Events cancelled. Since the beginning of summer, Oakville has already experienced over 250mm of rain (Hamilton, 2024). That exceeds our average rainfall during this season, and we’re only halfway through July. Such flash flooding and heavy thunderstorms are beyond unusual, so what’s causing this change in nature?
