SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count (East Braintree\, MB)
DESCRIPTION:Do you love birding? Are you excited about community science? \nOur annual Christmas bird count is coming up at the Boreal Ecology Centre in East Braintree on December 17. \nBring warm clothes\, binoculars\, a camera (if you have one)\, and snacks (we will provide lunch). Please also bring what you feel you need to hike winter trails (snow pants\, hiking poles\, etc.) \nHere’s what Birds Canada has to say about their Christmas Bird Count:  \nStarted in 1900\, the Christmas Bird Count is North America’s longest-running Citizen Science project. 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. \n\n\nRVSP HEREPlease RSVP by clicking on the button above.\nIf you have questions please contact us here for more info×Contact Us \n    \n    \n    \n    \n                    \n                \n                                    \n                \n                \n\n    \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n\n    \n    \n\n\n\nYour Name\n\n\nYour Email\n\n\nYour Subject\n\n\nYour Message\n\nYes\, I want to sign up for ARMB's monthly newsletter!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nreCAPTCHA helps prevent automated form spam.\n\nThe submit button will be disabled until you complete the CAPTCHA.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information \n  \n       \n \n Close\n×RSVP Here\n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n\n    \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n\n    \n            \n          Event RSVP (Manitoba)\n\n          \n          Sorry\, this form is not available.          \n        \n          \n       \n \n\nClose

SUMMARY:Germinating Conversations: Feeding the World? (Winnipeg\, MB)
DESCRIPTION:“Feeding the World?”\nAs inflation and a rising cost of living takes hold around the world\, we are told again of a “perfect storm” for those dependent on a globalized food system. What does the emerging global food price crisis mean for ordinary life and efforts to feed one’s family? What are the stories we\, here on the prairies\, tell ourselves about “feeding the world”? How do they intersect with cheap food policies\, export-oriented agriculture\, corporate concentration\, and the multitude of ways people harvest and grow food? \n\n\n\n\n\nYou’re invited to a live facilitated roundtable dialogue with growers\, harvesters\, and eaters. The Germinating Conversations initiative nurtures relationships between Manitoba farmers\, harvesters\, and eaters by paying close attention to the art of listening well. \nPARTICIPANTS: Lydia Carpenter\, Jim Cornelius\, Colleen Dyck\, Reg Dyck\, Ryan Turnbull\, and Janelle Wride \nWHEN: Tuesday\, Nov 29\, 7:00PM \nWHERE: Canadian Mennonite University (Great Hall\, North Campus) \nThis event is supported through a partnership between A Rocha Canada\, Canadian Foodgrains Bank\, Canadian Mennonite University\, and Mennonite Central Committee Manitoba.
