While it is true the Quarry Gardens are not ‘run’ by Evergreen, as an organization, we’ve been active stewards of the Brick Works site since 1997, and will continue so during and after construction is completed. When the construction is done, the industrial pad - which includes the buildings and NOT the park area - will be a demonstration of Evergreen’s commitment to the partnership of nature and urban space through the preservation and adaptive reuse of the buildings at the Brick Works in a thoughtful and nature-considerate manner. And it’s good to point out that Evergreen isn’t committed to the Brick Works project because it will benefit us financially. We’re a charity focused on bringing nature and cities together for the benefit of both. It’s also important to mention, to achieve our vision for the site we’ve engaged individuals and corporate donors in a very thorough manner and have specific guidelines that evaluate all potential donors through the lens of our values. If anyone has more questions or concerns I’d be more than happy to discuss.<BR/><BR/>mailto:nhabermeyer@evergreen.caAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14958949.post-16713351603685811152008-12-20T14:33:00.000-05:002008-12-20T14:33:00.000-05:00The spray painting vandals are so stupid and I con...The spray painting vandals are so stupid and I congratulate you (?) for cleaning the signs but I do not think it matters which parts of the site are City run and which are run by Evergreen. Most people look on the site as 'one place' so I really see no need to start trying to tell pople who runs what.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
