I agree with Ron (sorry Greg) and feel we should pick the day that will allow the greatest turnout and that has been Sunday in my experience for many of the reasons Ron mentioned.

Not to acknowledge Greg's concern for staffing pay rates but as far as the particular day of the weekend goes, I have to vote for Sunday. We started tree day on a Saturday and there were just too many family related things happening then, most notably, kids sports (soccer,hockey etc.). Sunday did get the biggest draw to the tree event. Scout and Guide troops were more available then too. Concerned about church? What's more spiritual than planting a tree in nature's cathedrals.<BR><BR>>>> "Ron Carter" <Ron.Carter@saanich.ca> 2/21/2011 7:52 AM >>><BR>
<DIV>Three of the core municipalities of Greater Victoria (Saanich, Victoria and Oak Bay) have been celebrating "Tree Appreciation Day" on approx. the first Sunday in November. In Saanich, the first TAD was Nov., 1995. November coincides with our monsoons out here and promotes to the public that mid to late fall as the best time to plant trees in a coastal climate to encourage establishment prior to our summer drought. The celebration here has also promoted native tree and associated plantings in either a forest, streamside or meadow re-creation. </DIV>
<DIV>I realize that Nov. is too late for the rest of Canada but I think a reasonable compromise would be Late Sept Early Oct. and in my opinion the day definitely should be a stand alone date. Our Northwest ISA Chapter conference happens around that time and could have a "Tree Day" celebration planting when the conference rotates to this side of the boarder.</DIV>
