People's Climate March: Ottawa joins global climate change protest
April 29, 2017-Today was another proud day for science in Ottawa. A large group gathered at Ottawa City Hall for the People's Climate March, which ended at the US Embassy. The protest was part of a global movement to advance climate change solutions and protect our clean air and drinking water. It coincided with President Trump's 100th day in office. I marched in hopes that the government will start taking climate change seriously and admit that the science is settled. I marched to ask the government to stop investing in pipelines and start investing in clean energy. Climate change is real. The debate among scientists about mankind's impacts on the planet is over. We must act now.

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!

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.

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.

A new era

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!

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.
