Hopefully this recording will be an 👁 eye opening experience to the realities of warming🌋 and global consequences of federal and provincial inaction. Sincerely thankful🍁 for Mayor Spencer Coyne and Mayor Jan Poderman for their candid storytelling🎫. the insights that can be gained in deep🛤 listening to the boots on the 🏗ground and following expertise built 🪢on the struggle, sacrifice and best p...

Brought to you the Green Antler and BCFG (spring 2022). Its a science of scalling, not just for the ivory tower🗽 laws of demand and supply. What we learn in a small petry dish. Different than what happens on larger settings.

From building seniors housing to legacy projects. From energy efficiency & micro generation to air quality indexes. From finding ways to increase the insulation values in retrofiting old buildings to localized waste disposal, and even mining landfills. Yea, we have that.

What started as a grant driven study focused on aging in place, later became a deeper dive study into transportation issues that residents of our village have. A couple of years and a global pandemic later, we have been trudging along up hill, zooming into making village, neighborhood and household level plans to expect and prepare for the unexpected or unevitable. Thanks to all the new and origin...

"There just isn't anything to believe in." From lassez faire to neo-classical and liberal. Recommendations from books written by George Lakeoff. Evil geniuses or hijacked agenda. 40 years of theory has become the socially acceptable. A rational economic man who acts in his ownself interest will benefit society. From leaky canoes and growth first clean up later, or never. Words like tax relief and...

On the way back up the hill after taking the kids to the library i stop and have a chat with my neighbour.🏘 I have been meaning to do this for a while. But it never seemed like the right time. Always busy coming, or going. Yet today was the day. After a year and a half, and 65 recorded episode, the green antler's waterfowl podcast 👌 was finally able to record a in person outdoor episode. I am ete...

Correspondence👌 and Engagement is at the heart ❤ of my political career. I had a resident and neighbor who called to remind me that it's an election 🤔 year. Also recommend a certain👍 individual to be encourage to run for village council in the fall. I will be reaching out to that person🤲 to gage their interest and offer my support💪. For myself, it has been an amazing experience to learn about...

Be a fly on the wall. Patiently planing, waiting for the rains to flow, making the epic spawning trip up the river. Thinking like a fish, returning to the begining, not an end but a continuium. Fully submerged and ready to give it all we got. Listening to the presentation which is early days, but super exciting! So grateful and glad to once again see ground breaking or even better, underwater shak...

To keep your resolutions on track and to be that gentle reminder. Worth repeating, as it's applicable to many fields. "Never gonna make the right decision if you don't understand what you options are. " Another great tidbit about planning for the future, inspite of fear or hesitation "that's not your job, its your money." Thanks for the life long learning and information. P.S. the 2 billion tree...

Dr. Adrienne says, "be the person, don't judge yourself, every person has a role to play, in a good way, start small, find out what it takes." From Tracks and snacks to precontact food. Or giving a gift or trade by not using the word outsider. Personally i got so much for this talk.

Thanks to Dr. Chasten Remillard for coining the phrase prac-academic. So much of my education is practical and in the doing of real life. From parenting to politics. It's quite a stretch, to even for my elastic imagination, to visualize me writing a thesis project. I struggle to balance basic cheque book and schedule my calendar. When i submitted my recommendation from the TAAC to council i felt a...

Sarah Fowler wants to share sincere thanks to the Bowerbird for sending her this fine book of poems. Hope you enjoy this reading and wishing all waterfowl listeners a happy new year.

Seasons greetings with politics and holidays. Thanks to Nicholas Guerreiro and Iona Reid for teaching us about foxing and first editions. Learning how to do shorthand, mock debate, about the Pickwick Bicycle club, annual Christmas stories, writing plays in 1836, editing magazine, reportage and comming of age. To preserve and conserve, social commentary on child labour laws, novels, novella or seri...

Among many other things, like rural urban fabric and centering on the needs of the most vulnerable. We are friends from Laurier high school in London who are now both municipal councillors, in middle age. There comes a load of intrinsically valuable introspection with that time of life. We both enjoy giving blood and promoting the boots on the ground causes in our communities. Whether it's Knights...

What's in it for me? WHY RESIST GRAVITY? We are all moving forward in humanity. What is my spark? Lets get in tune with what our hearts are telling us. Strain to hear, really lean into the silence, to hear the small sound of the triangle amid the orchestra. Do you have a tendancy to lean uphill? Are you carving a more difficult path? Not all of us are Trail blazers or pioneers but we all have a se...

The U4C project has been a long time coming. What started as a connecting road between the remote villages of Tahsis and Zeballos has become an economic development journey. Over the last 30 years much relationship building and understanding of the specific concerns for every stake holder have been explored. There has been many peaks and valley's. But adapting to the pivots of process and permitin...

A Ptarmigan press, tale of regional history, the back cover reads. "What was it like to live and work in the instant town of gold river British Columbia when the economy flourished abd its pulp mill operated around the clock? And, as the ole mill site now gives way yo demolition, what interesting aspects of those times still remain in the people and community? This book is a honest, ground- level...

Feel like you can do anything with Joanne Vanderheyden. It's like drinking from a firehose. Be yourself, do your homework and listen. Appreciate you joining into to the green antler's #waterfowl podcast and participating with us. You are super appreciated. A question period with an important, women in leadership, who is both Mayor and Federation of Canadian Municipalities president. 1. How did you...

Today we're back home in the west coast rainforest, after some time away. Setting into my spot on the green antler's #waterfowl podcast couch. Its season 2 now, but we're still going to tell stories. This episode features our own book. The 2019 tahsis inlet outlet revival #anthology, to be exact. Its got stories by Mary Hawkes (the hundredth sheep and the dump heap) & I.R. Ward (look before you le...

There is no hiding from the climate emergency. At the end of the day, humanity cant win a fight with nature. Living in the present and looking out for each other. Day to day, can be a tall order so we do small things that make our world a little more hopeful. Add to that other heavy weights, aniexty and grief can feel like the weight of the world. To unpack our privilege and still show up observin...
