As I used to work in accounting...I would love to see how the costing of these Nestle operations works; $3.71 for each one million litres?? That sounds incredible. If (and that's a BIG "IF") it is wise to sell our water to a foreign company instead of a local one, then surely it would be valued at more than that? I have heard tell of an old Zulu man in South Africa who had a dream that there was "gold" under a certain farm. Well, eventually they all realized that what had been revealed to him was that there was not "yellow gold" under him, but rather "clear gold", and the farm began to develop their own brand of bottled water...to the enrichment of everyone in their local area! Viva, wisdom, viva.

Her price? $3.71 per million litres of water

I just read this: "Public Justice: The political act of loving your neighbour". I am still chewing on it... Let us all do our part to make the world a better place for all.

34 workers just died in a supply factory in Bangladesh.

Allowing the Irradiation of Beef Products is not the way for better health and safety. It produces toxic compounds, like benzene, and reduces the nutritional value of food. It also changes the taste of meat.Of course, those who support the irradiation, like the Canadian Cattleman's Association (Mark...

Hi friends. A reminder of our SEED reunion - Saturday July 23 - Rock Climbing at Harrison, followed by supper at the Gould’s.

So far we have:
- Yeses from Josh, Michael, Tamaya, Sarah
- Maybe from Alexis
- Others !? we would love to see you again

Even if you just come for supper it would be great to see you…and since SEED is being discontinued, even more so!

------------

Hi All SEEDers, and staff (you are invited to the supper!) – please RSVP.

You are invited to a SEED reunion - Saturday July 23 - Rock Climbing at Harrison, followed by supper at the Gould’s.

So, please confirm you can make it. Those of us already at camp can drive to Harrison together, and others can meet us in Agassiz, at 10 am at the Super Valu, 7024 Cheam Road. We will bring lunch from camp – sandwich makings and drinks, and will bring all required gear, and a range of rock climbing shoes (but bring your own if you have them). We can plan to leave Harrison at about 5pm. Supper will be at the Gould house, 375 – 7th Ave, Hope. If it is raining…we’ll have to adjust to a hike of sorts in the Hope area…and so the meeting place may change.

Peace be with you, and we really look forward to seeing you again.

NOTE: Geoff has hurt my back…so it will not be wise for him to climb…unfortunately. It was even not good for him to boulder on the lovely “cut off tree” in camps parking lot the other day (Michael tempted me ) – see attached photo!

Contact Geoff if you have any questions!

Great high ropes training happening these days at Camp Squeah! Fun times, and good skills gained! Levi got 10/10 for this rope coil!

Hey, with great team work we all got the Squeah climbing wall holds cleaned, and new routes set for the next season! Well done everyone. Geoff had fun managing the project! The Gould and Larson boys tested all the routes to ensure they were age-appropriate, and possible.

Hi friends...the review of this by the Liberals is coming up...let's be on the look out for how we can help get this bill repealed...

New powers under C-51 have already been used two dozen times. We cannot wait for a slow-moving review process: it’s time to suspend C-51 immediately.

Wow. If you believe that BIG business is not the way to make a better world - then join us and act now. Donate to this cause, whatever you can afford. And, how can we not "afford" to help stop this kind of injustice? What kind of a world will we leave our children if this kind of corporation dominates the landscape?!

That's *terrible* news for the bees.

Hey! Check out the latest collection of SEED Photos! How do you sum up what a year in such a so-called program looks like?? A picture is worth a thousand words...so more pictures are worth ____ Enjoy!

What impact can participating in SEED have on a person's life?

Alumni Tamaya Hamm had this to say one year after finishing the program: "I don't remember if I ever shared this with you, but when we talked about goals in SEED I challenged myself to publish an article one day- and now it's happening! I wrote one for my teachers book. It's about stepping out of your comfort zone- something I experienced a lot during SEED. Thank you, Geoff, for challenging and encouraging me so much!"

Application deadline for SEED is May 31 this year. Please pass the word to anyone who you think should join us!

Great innovation....we are powerful, and creative, like the One who made us. Let's work on cleaning up the many messes we have made. God loves it when we do this good stuff to His earth, surely?
