Hi folks. I just wanted to extended a warm welcome to @Veadeh V Harrington out first member from Africa. Veadeh is also working with kids on developing gardening/farming skills in his own community. So lots of common ground. Welcome 🙏 ⛺️ Stay rugged my friends.

Skip the screens. Get outside this family day ❄️ Build a snow fort 🌲 Do a nature scavenger hunt 🥾 Take a winter hike (switch leaders!) 🐾 Track animal prints in the snow 🔥 Backyard campfire + hot chocolate 🏒 Hit the outdoor rink for pond hockey It’s not about doing it perfectly. It’s about building confidence — for parents and kids. Snow in boots and a hat Memories that last longer than WiFi. Let’s raise kids who know how to explore. #OutdoorKids #FamilyDay #GetKidsOutside

Here is a compilation of a spring black bear. My pic for size reference. Such a cool animal

Here is a beautiful healthy cow moose about 20 min from Rockland

BookFace is a great ressource for community initiatives. In the case VegHeads is a group that basically shops and prepares a weekly box of vegetables for $55. Every week is different, you never know what you are going to get. But on their FB page they have they give you a break down. Basically this week was $120 worth of vegetables for $55. Almost ridiculous not to get this since you already have to buy groceries. I personally love it because there is always 1-2 vegetables that wouldn’t naturally buy. So it forces me to cook/look up recipes with that ingredient. I sometimes include my kids in the process. And I do 90% of the cooking in our household, so new inspiration is always welcomed. Anyways, great resource. And if you are not in Ottawa east, look up regional FB groups. Might be something similar around Here is the GB link for this particular group https://www.facebook.com/share/1B7y8zLZrq/?mibextid=wwXIfr
