Its out tenth episode togethere, so to celebrate I randomly go on about interconnectedness, climate, food, care, transport, habitat and human behaviour.

I read out the names of other electeds from across the country who submitted slides for the FCM MCIP or Federation of Canadian Municipalities, municipal climate innovation program 3rd live chat . I talk about the retrofit financing thats happening in the Rockies and the solar investment and sea level rise work that is commonly needed in both the Pacific and Atlantic. My favorite part was the artic carboard conversion to heat pellet as a recycling output as an important input. Using what we have, to get what we need.

I talk about my dad's dad, Walter Fowler who once drove a dodge shadow and was a baggage handler with air canada. And about how we used to have a daily plane to Vancouver from Tahsis but now we don't. To notice the way our history and legacy are reflected in the new transportation study final report, recieved by council at the last meeting.

Then I stream out the way our community is using social capital to enhance salmon and deliver food security biweekly. How the partnerships of the senior's covid19 relief food bank enhanced nutritional value and increased uptick in a compost pilot program. How the st Vincent de Paul community cupboard voluteer network mobilize non perishables to singles and families. And how the knights of Columbus christmas hampers requires some donations for frieght on the last mile.

But most of all its the total cumulative impact of the group benefit, reduced risk, age friendly acessablity and greenhouse gas reductions that let us practice the many ways, it does indeed, take a village.
