SUMMARY:Lost and Found - Spring Break Adventure Days (Winnipeg\, MB)
DESCRIPTION:Where are we? Let’s get lost and found together!\nThis spring break\, come figure out where we are during two adventure days! \n \nYou can sign up for just one day or both! \nWe’ll learn how to use a compass and do some orienteering in the forest\, we’ll make art out of our surroundings\, we’ll build devices to figure out the time and weather\, and we’ll discover what parts of our surroundings we might be able to eat! \n \nCome discover where we are\, and maybe even find yourself becoming a part of the world around you! \n\nOur pop-up camps always include: \n– Time outside\n– Discovery/learning\n– Games\n– Art projects\n– Morning AND afternoon snacks!\n\nWhen? March 31 and/or April 1\, 2026 from 9am to 3:30pm \nWhere? The Mennonite Heritage Gallery (600 Shaftesbury Blvd) \nAges 6-12 \nCost: $30 a day (plus tax) per camper \n\n Use code POPUP10 to receive a 10% discount if registering more than 1 camper!\nThere are two tickets: March 31 and April 1. Select one of each if you would like to send your camper for both days!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIs this camp right for my child?\nAs a Christian conservation organization we strive to create warm\, inclusive\, quality environmental education programs that care for creation and equip others to do likewise. Our goal is to inspire hope\, wonder and curiosity through hands-on\, place-based immersive science education. By providing students with the opportunity to expand their eco-literacy and familiarity with the natural world\, our desire is that as a reflection of this knowledge\, their appreciation\, care and love of that space deepen and develop alongside their learning and exploration. \nOur work reflects our belief that God loves all of creation and calls humanity to act as stewards of that creation – both the human and non-human bits \nDiving Deeper into our Christian theology: \nWe aim to provide inclusive programming for a wide range of cultural backgrounds within our community. With that in mind\, we welcome insights from all cultures to address environmental challenges- to learn and grow from one another\, while remaining rooted in our calling to care for creation out of a love from the Creator. \nClick here for more information.

SUMMARY:Consider the Lilies Collective (Winnipeg\, MB)
DESCRIPTION:Consider the Lilies Collective\nMarch 7\, 2026 – 9:00 am – 12:00 pm\nLocation: Grace Bible Church\nThere are many churches doing the work of caring for creation\, and there are others who want to start\, but need some ideas and support. Consider the Lilies Collective works to equip and connect you in your work to care for creation with your church\, whether you are just starting out\, or have been doing the work for years. \nJoin the A Rocha community for a morning of practical workshops and worship engaging our head\, hands\, and hearts for creation care. Snacks and coffee/tea will be provided. \nWorkshop #1: Can We Talk?: Having hard conversations about God’s earth\nwith Marta Bunnett Wiebe\, Peace & Advocacy Program Coordinator with Mennonite Central Committee Manitoba \nHave you ever found yourself in a conversation about environmental issues that felt more like an argument than a productive dialogue? Talking about climate change and biodiversity loss is one of the most important things we can do to address these big challenges\, but why do conversations about ecological issues routinely produce more heat than light even though we all rely on clean air\, water\, and soil? Caring for creation has never been more important. Biblically speaking\, humans are made to care for God’s world and at the same time we’re often overwhelmed by evidence of creation’s groaning. And yet\, simply talking about our concern for earthkeeping is often very challenging. \nThis seminar will focus on skills that equip us for constructive dialogue about contentious topics like biodiversity loss\, climate change\, and pollution. Even big changes usually begin in the midst of ordinary conversations. Join us as we learn how to interact in ways that foster trust\, identify common ground\, and build momentum towards shared goals. \nWhat to Expect: Practical training in how to have constructive dialogue about contentious topics. \nWorkshop #2: Churches Caring for Creation Idea Exchange\nwith a panel of people who have done practical projects at their churches \nSometimes the easiest way to start caring for creation is to do a hands-on project. This workshop will bring together various voices in the church to share about projects they have done\, from community gardens\, to art projects\, to bird boxes & more. \nRegistration covers the cost of snacks and coffee/tea.

Counts happen in over 2000 localities throughout the Western Hemisphere. \nThe information collected by thousands of volunteer participants forms one of the world’s largest sets of wildlife survey data. The results are used daily by conservation biologists and naturalists to assess the population trends and distribution of birds. \nEach Christmas Bird Count is conducted on a single day between December 14 and January 5. Counts are carried out within a 24-km diameter circle that stays the same from year to year. They are organized\, usually as group efforts\, at the local level\, often by a birding club or naturalist organization. \nThis is a great opportunity to explore the birds that we have in and around the Boreal Ecology Centre and engage people in conducting citizen science. This is part of the work that we want to take on in order to promote connections at the Boreal Ecology Centre that can contribute to conservation.

SUMMARY:Why Creation is Waiting for the Christians: An Evening with Peter Harris (Winnipeg\, MB)
DESCRIPTION:The founder of A Rocha International is coming to Winnipeg and you are invited to come hear him speak. Peter Harris has been involved in the global nature conservation movement for over 40 years. Peter will be giving his talk Why Creation is Waiting for the Christians. \nThe world is facing what has been called a polycrisis\, one which certainly implies damage to both climate and all forms of life on earth. But is the good news that Christians believe in\, relevant to these times? We will explore how it is\, and what it means for some of the most impoverished human communities and the threatened ecosystems that sustain them. \n“The good news of Jesus is meant to be written in the landscapes and not just in people’s lives.” – Peter Harris \nRefreshments will be served after. \nThis event is hosted by A Rocha in Manitoba in partnership with Faith Covenant Church and Canadian Scientific & Christian Affiliation \nLocation: Faith Covenant Church – 1229 Windermere Ave  \nTime: Oct 30\, 2025 – 7:00 PM \nPlease register below. Limited spots available. \nAbout Peter Harris \nPeter and his late wife Miranda founded A Rocha\, a family of conservation organizations in over 22 countries working together to live out God’s calling to care for creation\, in 1983. The A Rocha story is told in Peter’s books\, Under the Bright Wings and Kingfisher’s Fire. A Cambridge graduate and Anglican minister\, Peter has served as Adjunct Faculty at Regent College\, Vancouver and Au Sable Institute\, Michigan. In his retirement\, he continues to serve A Rocha as a volunteer\, developing ways to create jobs and wealth and improve the environment instead of overexploiting it. In 2019\, Peter and Miranda were in a horrific road accident in South Africa\, which she did not survive\, and which he has since spoken about in lectures and on film. \n“Peter Harris is a persistent and most convincing witness that the Christ who saves and the Christ who creates are one and the same Christ\, that the care and celebration of creation is essential to a full evangelical witness of the Gospel of salvation.” – Eugene Peterson

Counts happen in over 2000 localities throughout the Western Hemisphere. \nThe information collected by thousands of volunteer participants forms one of the world’s largest sets of wildlife survey data. The results are used daily by conservation biologists and naturalists to assess the population trends and distribution of birds. \nEach Christmas Bird Count is conducted on a single day between December 14 and January 5. Counts are carried out within a 24-km diameter circle that stays the same from year to year. They are organized\, usually as group efforts\, at the local level\, often by a birding club or naturalist organization. \nThis is a great opportunity to explore the birds that we have in and around the Boreal Ecology Centre and engage people in conducting citizen science. This is part of the work that we want to take on in order to promote connections at the Boreal Ecology Centre that can contribute to conservation.
