I will be heading to Parliament Hill on April 22 to join in the March for Science for Earth Day, and I'm really excited to join such a large group of people. This walk is part of a "global celebration of passion for science." Science needs to be protected from funding cuts and political or corporate interference. I will be walking to raise awareness about pollution and climate change. Hope to see you there!
11:00 am Saturday, April 22 at Parliament Hill

Protecting the Ottawa River watershed: First Nations history important for the future
of the environment
“Water is speaking: Are we listening?” That question was
posed by Saugeen First Nation Chief Randall Kahgee in the book Boiling Point by Maude Barlow. Water is life- the indigenous people have always known this to be
true. Water feeds our bodies, water is
our bodies. Water is prosperity; water is safety. Water should be clean.

The CVMA released a statement that the association has revised it's previous position on the onychectomy- better known as declawing- of domestic cats.

Climate Facts: Sharing science and hope
An increase in water vapour over the Ocean's adds power to tropical storms. This means an increase in the amount of tropical storms we experience, the size of them and how long they last.
I'm really inspired by Years of Living Dangerously and their hashtag #ClimateFacts to raise awareness about climate change. Paws For Reaction #ClimateFacts raise awareness about climate science, and also share solutions and renewable achievements. I'd love to hear your thoughts and questions about climate change or the Climate Reality Corps: email pawsforreaction@live.ca
A new era
is upon us: Reduce carbon emissions and increase
biodiversity

When I was growing up we lived in a brand-new housing
development for a few years. Our family was one of the first to move to the
newly created community. I loved it there because we had a park and forest in
the back; and a stream that lead to the rushing river. It was my own, personal
ecosystem to explore, climb and collect ‘samples’ from. Most of all, it was my
place to get good and muddy!
Climate Facts: Sharing science and hope
Natural shifts in the Earth's orbit can cause natural climate change, but the rate in which the climate is changing and the rapid warming effect is impacted by our actions.

Climate Facts: Sharing science and hope
I'm really inspired by Years of Living Dangerously and their hashtag #ClimateFacts to raise awareness about climate change. Years has challenged themselves to release one climate fact per day. I've decided to join in and create my very own Paws For Reaction #ClimateFacts to raise awareness about climate science, and also to share solutions and renewable achievements. Sharing solutions keeps me hopeful. While I wont be sharing one fact per day, I'm going to try my best to share one a week.

Happy International Women's Day!
