Indigenous community hosts full moon ceremony ...

Kristen Villebrun and Wendy Bush hoped they wouldn't have to pray for Chedoke Creek, but four years after they first raised alarm about the water's condition, they were part of an Indigenous full moon ceremony to do just that. About 50 people showed up near Princess Point on the dark and frigid Monday evening for the monthly ceremony, which was particularly special as it focused on Chedoke Creek. The body of water that runs into Cootes Paradise had about 24 billion litres of sewage and storm water runoff leak into it due to a gate being left open.

Plains Midstream Canada supports SCRCA’s spring water awareness program

For the fourth year, Plains Midstream Canada has supported the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority’s (SCRCA) Spring Water Awareness Program (SWAP) with a $5,000 donation. Held throughout the month of April, the program teaches students about the hazards of spring floodwaters. “Through our annual Spring Water Awareness Program, we talk with students about the potentially dangerous conditions associated with streams and rivers during the spring, and provide them with safety guidelines,” stated Melissa Levi, Conservation Education Coordinator at the SCRCA, in a media release.
