November being the month of philanthropy, tolerance, health and safety is filled with amazing awareness holidays bringing attention to important issues. What a wonderful month to celebrate the closing of the garden and yard work, slowing down to get cozy and warm!
First - let's celebrate the fact that we have one of Canada's largest wildlife refuge that is managed by numerous organizations along with the government. This area has significance because ecosystem's ability to control and clean water. It's other main significance is that it is home to some endangered and threatened species of frogs and salamanders and fish. It is also home to millions of different birds and brings in a large number of international birdwatchers. There has been a lot of improvement projects over the last 10 years, and this year is no different. Click HERE to learn more.
The Columbia Basin Network is always active in the local environment and collaborating with a wide array of organizations.
The Canadian Wildlife Federation released over 1000 baby turtles to help renew future generations of turtles.
There are so many organizations that work tirelessly to improve multiple things at once: the environment, agriculture and the local food movement.
One of the reasons, in fact, why I continue to publish this blog on an almost daily basis is because we have the honour of networking with and celebrating organizations like these, bringing more attention the incredibly impressive contributions that make the world a better place.
I wish I had time, and energy, to list everything I've been witness to that has gone on within my narrow view to the world. Imagine how limited my view is ; this little view into the incredible works going on all around us. If only we saw all of the fantastic actions that are taking place every day....
So with that in mind I want to celebrate just a few, and I mean very few, of the thousands of amazing positive, proactive movements we personally have seen in our little valley and across the globe.
