Clearwater Council- with great organizational help from staff- puts on a Volunteer Brunch once a year.

Clearwater has a very high level of Volunteerism for our relatively small local population.

We had about 70 volunteers as guests this morning, usually we have about 100, but garden season.

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

At our regional district meeting, we are hearing reports of Vancouver homeless and/or repeat offenders being incentivized to leave Vancouver for rural centres for the duration of of FIFA.

If this is proven to be accurate, that is total a bullshit move.

I’m a member of Climate Caucus and I agree with this statement.

Oddly, I’m a car guy. I have several vintage cars. I wrote automotive history as a side gig.

The future is electric. There will be other fuel types, but none of them should be fossil.

FWIW my vintage electric car project.

On this grim anniversary, amid so much finger-pointing and misinfo over drug policy, worth remembering how many ppl tried to overcome addiction, and were failed

Harley Cartwright, who died Sept 24, 2020, is just one example. The letter his mom found after his death broke me

Missed in conversations is the damage that that Mars water drop did.

Why do you care about damage when a fire is burning everything?

Because ground crews have to go in and do fire mop up after those drops and hazard trees are a big issue with huge water drops.
