Residents are invited to pick up free compost to help nourish their gardens, flower beds, and landscaping projects for the season ahead.
Be sure to bring your own shovel and containers, as compost will be available while supplies last. I look forward to seeing you there!

How’s the housing market in Scarborough Centre? Just look up. ⬆️😄 Today, we watched an entire unit fly overhead as we celebrated the topping-off of 26 Gilder Drive. Safe to say we're building homes a little faster these days!
