Hello Highland Creek Green Community,

I hope that you have been enjoying this beautiful fall season in Highland Creek watershed.

Two years ago today, the first photo was posted on the Connect with the Creek blog. Since then, we've shared many interesting stories and experiences related to Highland Creek watershed. We're very happy to see how successful the blog has been. We look forward to continuing to work with you to create interactive content for Connect with the Creek.

I've enjoyed sending this e-newsletter for the past two years, but I've joined the TRCA Stewardship team and will not be continuing to send Highland Highlights. Going forward, please continue to find information about Highland Creek watershed at Connect with the Creek, Highland Creek Green Community, or @TRCA_Highland. As the Toronto Stewardship Coordinator I'll be contributing to the TRCA Stewardship e-newsletter in the future and I look forward to seeing you at future events in Scarborough.
