BurlingtonGreen Annual Community Clean Up Green Up

Burlington’s annual Clean Up Green Up registration is now open. Sign up to participate in this popular and rewarding city-wide opportunity to safely collect litter from our communities, and you can also register to participate in various green up activities that you can do at home to help grow the local tree canopy and strengthen local biodiversity too!

BurlingtonGreen's 11th Annual Clean Up Green Up gets underway with an early start this year from Saturday, March 27th through to May 2nd, with opportunities for continued participation through to October 31, 2021. (We encourage groups to AVOID cleaning up Burlington on April 24th as there is another group organizing a city clean up, and we want to minimize the volume of people converging in parks on the same date.)

We invite you to safely gather your family, friends, social bubble, colleagues, community group or students to participate in this outdoor and physically distanced eco-action opportunity to clean up litter from Burlington’s parks, school yards, creek areas and neighbourhoods. Green Up activities encourage the removal of invasive plant species from home gardens, and the planting of native trees and pollinator plants. PLUS the dual-component annual event invites you to send along your eco-action photos, includes chances to win some great prizes, and we will be announcing some exciting FREE giveaways in the weeks ahead as well!

Visit www.burlingtongreen.org for further details and to sign up to participate!

Note: Your safety is of utmost importance - please be sure to follow Halton’s up-to-date COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions to ensure safe participation. Stay at home if you are unwell, wear a mask, keep 6 feet apart from others and adhere to the maximum outdoor gathering limits.

Thank you to the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the City of Burlington, and other community supporters for helping to make this impactful opportunity possible.

Together we make a difference!

Special Exhibition | Cipher Decipher

Cipher | Decipher is an interactive exhibition developed by Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation, in partnership with the Communications Security Establishment (CSE).

Providing visitors with a rare and exciting opportunity to view an authentic Second World War Enigma cipher machine, Cipher|Decipher breaks down communications encryption: what it is, how it works, and how it affects our lives. The 500-square-foot exhibition showcases a wide range of historic communications encryption artifacts on loan from the CSE, and contains both hands-on and digital experiences, as well as custom illustrations that visually demonstrate key processes in cybersecurity, and making and breaking ciphers. Visitors will be able to scramble their own messages using a cipher wheel, see how an Enigma cipher machine works, and tackle puzzles to learn if they have what it takes to work in the field of cryptology.

Also on view is a complementary mini-exhibition, Floriography: The Language of Flowers. Beyond their beauty, flowers can share deep and symbolic meaning. Sending flowers to a special someone can allow us to confide our true feelings or let a loved one know that we're thinking of them This meaning is taken a step further through what's known as "floriography", the Victorian era art of combining flowers to send coded messages - a language based entirely on flowers. Using images taken from the Museums of Burlington's collections and floriographies on loan from the Royal Botanical Gardens, visitors will uncover the subtle art of floriography and can even try their luck at decoding a bouquet mural for the chance to win a prize.

The exhibition runs from October 15, 2021 to January 8, 2022. Museum hours of operation are Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 3:30pm. In accordance with COVID-19 protocols, the Museums of Burlington has procedures in place to allow the public to safely enjoy the galleries and exhibitions currently on view. Visitors to the Museum are asked to pre-pay admission online for a designated entry time. Entry times are available on the 1/2 hour. Walk-in visitors will be accommodated space permitting.

Get ready to laugh the night away with this award-winning Canadian comedian. Having traveled the world for over three decades as a master of improvisation and an accomplished impressionist who delights in the absurd, this show is not to be missed by anyone who wants a good laugh!

During the pandemic I hosted an online version of this show Colin Hay, Jennifer Robertson, Chris Locke, Hawksley Workman, Matt O’Brien, Julia Hladkowicz, Danko Jones, Michael Landsberg, Ryan Wilner, Jeff Dye and many many more.

You’ll recognize me from Just for Laughs, the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, and The Debaters – just to name just a few of my appearances in Canada.

Internationally, you’ll know me from appearances on The Ellen Show, Workin’ Moms, and NBC’s Last Comic Standing, as well as numerous voice-over roles.

SWEET DREAMS The Music of Patsy Cline

Created by Leisa Way
Featuring The Wayward Wind Band

Legendary singer Patsy Cline was born on September 8th, 1932 and died on March 5th, 1963 in a plane crash that went down in a snowstorm near the hills of Camden, Tennessee. She was returning home from singing at a benefit concert in Kansas. She’d been on the road traveling and performing and had missed her two kids so much that she decided to fly rather than drive back from that concert…. she wanted to get home quicker to see her babies.

At the time of her passing she was only 30 years old, but she had packed a lot of living into those few years and had accomplished a tremendous amount in the mere 6 years since she’d had her first hit record.

She left behind a legacy of music that will live on long after we are all gone. Friends describe Patsy as a woman whose heart was as big and as warm as her God given voice.

We hope that tonight you will enjoy spending some time with the music of, “The Cline”!

“captivating the audience right from the beginning as she tells the story of Cline and her rise to stardom.” – Saugeen Times
