New Rain Garden

Members of the community, CHARA Board, and Councillor Brockington came together earlier this month to plant a rain garden at the Carleton Heights Community Centre. This special bowl-shaped garden uses native plants to help absorb large amounts of water where it falls. A huge thank you to EnviroCentre for supporting this event!
