Community members are banding together to provide eco-friendly solutions to Highland Creek’s water drainage issues. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) asked Scarborough residents to attend several workshops last weekend where they helped identify ways the community can remedy issues experienced in some neighbourhoods by Highland Creek.

As part of a Feb. 9 workshop, Scarborough residents were encouraged to mimic owl and coyote calls in the name of environmental preservation. The workshop, Hoot and Howl, was hosted by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority at Curran Hall Community Centre. Zoologist Erin Bullis uses the workshop to raise awareness about dwindling wildlife populations and species living in both Morningside Park and Highland Creek.
