Cycletrack on Assinboine Ave (Photo by Anders Swanson)
We are always looking for that perfect photo to communicate different aspects of our programs and the ideas we want to share. It’s nice to have images that we all recognize from our Manitoban gardens and landscapes, roads and bridges. If you have a little time to volunteer and a digital camera, maybe you would like to snap a few shots and share them with us! Just choose from our (rather long) list below, and send them to by email (info@greenactioncentre.ca). Some of the items are seasonal, but it’s a long term project. We will be sure to credit you as the much appreciated photographer!
