BAPS Charities volunteers actively participated in the City of Toronto Tree Planting Stewardship Program on Sunday, April 28, 2024, at McCowan District Park. The event unfolded through the morning with a team of 25 volunteers spanning various age groups. Nestled in the City of Toronto and the suburb of Scarborough, the park provided a fitting backdrop for the community-driven initiative.

Beyond the tangible impact on the environment, the event exemplified the power of collaboration and the spirit of giving back to the community. The diverse composition of volunteers, ranging from youths to adults, underscored the inclusive nature of the endeavour, highlighting how collective action can bring about meaningful change.
