PaBIA's Vision: To Preserve This Unique Natural Habitat for Generations to Come
|
|
I hope that all Canadians marked the important new day in the calendar, September 30th, which was the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The creation of this federal statutory holiday honours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities.
I am so excited to see so many members sending photographs from this past summer. THANK YOU! Nature seems to be the predominant theme, but I bet between the various programs/events/gatherings over the summer such as camps, sailing, dinners, parties, there are a lot more photos yet to come into Hilde's inbox! As you think back over this past summer, please consider sharing your summer photos with all of us!
And a very Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadians coming up this weekend!
