My garden, health and active living

[Federation of Canadian Municipalities @FCM_online]

Mental health is declining across the country, and while municipalities are doing their best to confront the array of challenges that come with that, the reality is that Canada’s growing mental health needs remain unmet. Canadians deserve more support, and municipalities need more funding and resources to help deliver it. Learn more: https://t.co/TlqJMkFtAa

Wild life corridors need to be built into new developments and added to existing developments if wildlife and biodiversity are expected to survive.

@buildwpg How many canopy trees? What are the bike amenities and set backs?

[OURS-Winnipeg @OURS_Winnipeg]

The new St Annes and St Mary's perimeter interchanges and their ramps intersect with ecological corridors and wildlife crossings and their planning must ensure safe passage for people and wildlife.

🌳Forests play a crucial role in maintaining climate stability. They actively regulate ecosystems, safeguard #biodiversity, contribute significantly to the carbon cycle, and provide support for livelihoods. 🌳#BuildBackBiodiversity #FromAgreementToAction #KMGBF

@brent_bellamy 525 Wellington Cres is a gated community. It bars access to the river which is unfortunate.

Councillor Browaty basically tells all community groups to stop wasting their time presenting as delegates, says "a lot of these opinions are irrelevant" - is this an appropriate action as the chair of a Community Committee?

@brent_bellamy When our Elm tree was lost to disease, I was told that the City had no Bur Oaks trees that year for planting. We got some Bing Cherry trees on our block in place of huge Elm trees.

I’ve never noticed that Osborne Village has a boulevard tree. One lonely tree on the whole strip. I feel like she should have a name.

Physical activity is a great way to improve your heart health.

What if every city had “Bike Buses” for kids going to school & daycare? What if safe, protected bike infrastructure made them easy? From Nijmegen NL, a #BikeBus developed in partnership with an after-school childcare. HT to great folks at @Cycling_Embassy
