Annual Spring Tree Planting
Saturday, June 9
10:00 am – 12:00 pm

We’re bringing the community together to plant trees and shrubs throughout Henteleff Park, 1964 St. Mary’s Road.

Bring your shovels, gloves, smiles, friends, uncles, aunts, cousins and all your family for a morning of fun and community fellowship.

Thanks to our generous friends at Gunn’s Bakery, refreshments and snacks will be served. In support of the Henteleff Park Foundation, t-shirts will also be available for sale. (Perfect Father’s Day gift!)

We hope you can join us! Come make a tree your own personal landmark in Henteleff Park.

Message from the President

It has been a fantastic year (2017-2018) for the Henteleff Park Foundation. Besides the completion of the remarkable Henteleff Park Interpretive site, we have had an excellent year in other areas as well.

Henteleff Park Foundation is very happy to announce that it received a generous donation from the TD Bank Friends of the Environment Foundation. This money will be used for tree purchases, equipment purchases and wage supplements for the summer students.

Speaking of which, HPF received funds again this year from Canada Summer Jobs (Service Canada) to hire 4 students for 9 weeks to work at the park. The students will plant trees, work on the trails and pull weeds, among many other very important summer tasks. Thank you to our friend, MP Terry Duguid and his staff for their assistance.

Henteleff Park Foundation extends its deepest thanks to TD Bank Friends of the Environment Foundation and Service Canada for their support of Henteleff Park.  — Saul Henteleff

Annual General Meeting 2018
Henteleff Park Foundation will have its Annual General Meeting on June 9, 2018 immediately following the spring tree planting (noon).  All are welcome!!

Group Tours & Community Outreach
Since the Interpretive Centre’s opening in August 2016, Yude Henteleff, President Emeritus of the HPF Board has hosted and led several group tours of the HPF Interpretive Centre and the Park as a whole. The latest tour was with the St. Vital Library Association.

Yude also recently spent time with the Scandinavian Cultural Centre as part of their T.G.I.F Dinner and Speaker series. With close to 100 people in attendance, Yude was invited to share stories and the history of HPF.

If any group wishes to hear more from Yude or book a guided tour of the Interpretive Centre and Park, please email him directly at y.henteleff@gmail.comto arrange a convenient time.

Donations Needed
We appreciate all the financial and other assistance provided to HPF by all three levels of Government. But that falls considerably short of what HPF requires to maintain and improve Henteleff Park as set out in its mandate and we need your financial support to do so. That mandate is to maintain and improve itself as a passive park – a place of beauty, quietude and reflection. HPF is a non-profit registered Charity with the Canada Revenue agency and all donors will be provided with a tax-deductible receipt for their donation.

Please make your cheques payable to “Henteleff Park Foundation”
