The report came out last week that in 2019 Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions went up. Again. Canada has failed in all its commitments to reduce emissions. As long as emissions are going up we haven’t even started. These are the crucial last years to back away from global disaster, and Canada is still going the wrong way.

Wildflower School is a thriving multi-age school from Kindergarten to Grade 9 that operates within the public system.
It is a program of choice, focused on innovative and social-emotional learning that has served the Nelson community for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately, SD8 senior staff does not recognize the value of this education model...

This is to commend (The Nelson Daily) for his article on the rallies across BC on Monday (February 22, 2021).
