It's that time of the week again! The draws have been made for the Downtown Dollars and winners will find an email in their inbox from us, The Energy and Climate Change Team. We're really encouraged by all of the actions going on so far. We're half-way there and can't wait to see what else people do as Earth Day approaches and some organized...

I was talking to my friend about whales today and the conversation turned into us stressing the importance of taking care of the oceans!

I was very excited to read in the local (digital) paper the news about more times being added to the Kitchener GO train line!

Sunday before the heavy rain, I planted some kale and arugula seeds in the front garden. Looking forward to fresh homegrown greens!

Have been thinking about this alot as of late, but to me, resilience means adapting to environmental change, and the ongoing effort to look after our environment.

Enjoyed a lovely walk with my family today! Great zero-tech activity to pass the evening
