First of all, we are beyond excited to have three new Seed Keepers-in-training for this season, in addition to our two “originals”! See a photo of most of us below at a recent visit with long-time Seed Keepers Janice and Ken.
This Sunday, June 9 is the second Sunday of the month, and as such is our regular volunteer work bee from 10 am-noon! Youth especially are encouraged to come out, and we can sign for high school volunteer hours if that helps. Youth who join us for 3 work bees throughout the season will receive a free t-shirt! Just sign in when you arrive each time. The timing will be 10-noon for this one, although as the temperature rises we may plan to meet earlier in the day.
We are also excited to announce our latest fundraising initiative: an EcoTour Experience to immerse you in our ways of growing and keeping seeds! “Reconnecting One Seed at a Time” will be a meaningful, but also entertaining way to support the organization while learning about Rotinonhsyon:ni Seed Keeping. Our first offering will be the morning of Indigenous People’s Day, June 21, but we plan to offer more in the fall in honour of TRC/Orange Shirt day!
