Dear Ms Trzoch:

On behalf of Oakville Town Council and the Parks and Open Spaces Department, may I express sincere thanks to you and your team for participating in the Pick-A-Parcel Program.

The attention to McCraney Valley and Oakville Parks though collection of
litter and debris shows, in a very fine way, the commitment by Field and
Stream Rescue Team to this endeavor to maintain the beauty of our town.

Your efforts, multiplied by similar volunteer empowerment, result in a
town-wide endeavor that succeeds with the resources of dedicated people like
those on your team. My thanks, and those of the entire town, go to each
member of Field and Stream Rescue Team.

Keep up the good will. I hope your team will once again participate in the
Pick-A-Parcel Program. Should Field and Stream Rescue Team wish to renew
their commitment to the program for 2005, please contact the Parks and Open
Spaces Department at (905) 845-6601, extension 3076.

Yours very sincerely,

Ann Mulvale
Mayor
Town of Oakville

Dear David,
 
I wanted to congratulate your organization on their fine, environmental work. Your kind of tasks are so necessary and the fact that they are being performed voluntarily speaks volumes about your efforts.
 
My interests also lie in recycling so I was very pleased to see Field and Stream Rescue Team take on this challenge at the Sound of Music Festival and the upcoming RibFest. Dianne Watkins informs me that future clean-ups will consist of separate collections of recyclables and garbage. These as well as all your other events are having a positive impact now and for future generations. Thank you. Please accept this donation.
 
Sincerely,
 
Barbara Frensch
Joint Municipal/Regional Waste Management Committee (Citizen Appointee)

[Withrow Dog Park Tree Donation - Toronto]

I am so very honored to represent a community as compassionate as this one. I felt that during the tragedy of last February, when little T-bone lost his life and several other dogs were taken ill, this neighborhood pulled together and showed its stuff. The fact that we care about each other and our community is what makes us a community.

I want to thank all those who donated to the fund that raised over $1,000.00 for the Ontario SPCA and The Field and Street Rescue Team for donating this beautiful chestnut tree in memory of T-bone.

I feel that this ceremony here today gives us all a sense of closure and is symbolic of our desire to move forward as a community.

On behalf of City Council and the residents of Burlington, I would like to offer my sincere appreciation for your efforts in showcasing our City during the "Communities in Bloom" competition.

While this was Burlington's first year participating, the level and diversity of public support clearly indicates our City is already enjoying the sense of community and accomplishment that the program generates.

Our success at the provincial level was due in large part to your commitment to this project and to our community. Your support enabled us to present Burlington's best attributes.

Once again, thank you for your time, expertise and skills.

I read the news article in the Burlington Post about the creek clean up that
took place behind No Frills on Sunday, June 9th. As the Councillor for this
area, I want to say thank you for undertaking this clean up.
I really appreciate the time taken out of everyone's busy life to volunteer
for this initiative and to keep Burlington a clean and beautiful city.
Please extend my thanks and appreciation to everyone who was involved in the
clean up.

“In my opinion, the Field and Stream Rescue Team is a well organized, grassroots community group that is committed to undertaking projects that will enhance the local environment. It is important to support community groups with this level of organization and commitment since there is a limited capacity for other organizations (i.e. public agencies) to undertake these hands-on projects”

The City of Burlington recognizes the importance of preserving our creeks, bush-lots and green spaces. I have worked with Dave Vyse, Mark Wiedener and the "Field and Stream Rescue Team", for the past two years on various creek clean-up projects. The Field and Stream Rescue Team has also begun to plant shrubs and native species of trees to help control erosion and to increase the ecological and visual diversity of the system.

The City of Burlington supports all of the efforts of the Field and Stream Rescue Team in their project to help preserve and promote a healthy creek system.
