We Benefit From Our Beavers• A natural park that enhances the enjoyment of our
neighbourhood• An educational opportunity for children and newcomers
to Canada• It attests to the improved water quality of our streams• The beavers attract other wildlife that rounds out a natural
environment• New park gives Ward 41 a bit of “cachet” amongst other
wards – and will increase value of homes
