The Peace and Environment Resource Centre is hosting a volunteer appreciation event, PERCshop, and special announcement to celebrate PERC and PEN projects over the past three years.  Distinguished guests will be on hand to formally congratulate the organization on receiving a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) in support of the PERC website, E-PEN, and E-Resource Library projects.
 
Rob Danforth of Canadian Organic Growers, will facilitate a workshop on container gardening using organic herbs and vegetables. Rob is an experienced gardener and workshop instructor with a wealth of knowledge on organic gardening and growing food in small spaces. Participants will leave with the beginnings of their very own organic container garden and the knowledge of what to do next. More about our workshop facilitator.
