Only 3% of our wildflower meadows are left. Please share this post if you agree we should give pollinating insects a fighting chance by growing wildflowers in our gardens, communities, towns and countryside, and by avoiding pesticides and weedkillers 🐝

EVERY. CHILD. MATTERS.

Today, we honour the children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities. Today is also an opportunity for all of us to listen, learn, reflect, and continue the work of reconciliation in our communities. Every Child Matters. 🧡

Last year I told everyone they should gift food for the holidays. This year it’s the same. Feed each other. Clothe each other. Blanket each other. People sometimes need help but are afraid to ask for it.
