Inspirational moment

Canadiana
With its thunderous rapids carving through a wild boreal forest in Quebec’s Côte-Nord region, the Magpie River is well known to white water rafters from around the globe. What these travelers may not know is that the Magpie recently became the first river in Canada to be granted legal personhood.
The 120-mile-long waterway is sacred to the Innu First Nation, who call it Mutuhekau Shipu. They’ve depended on it as a major highway, food source, and natural pharmacy for centuries. But in recent years, the river has been threatened by hydroelectric dam development, the negative environmental and social effects of which often outweigh any renewable energy benefits.

April 8. Planning to head out to view the total eclipse. I did not fly my Lear Jet up to Nova Scotia, but I did drive my Rouge to New Brunswick :-)

April 8. Really enjoyed the story on bee-keeping, an important industry in so many ways.
-- Patrick Gibson, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
April 8. Climate Change. The most important message in this talk is that we need to act NOW and in a major way!! Unfortunately, so many people are not willing to change their comfortable life that causes such a large amount of garbage and contamination.
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One District 5370
