I'll take "not getting the point" for 1000 Alex!
This week is Canadian Environment Week. A week dedicated as "a time to celebrate the achievements and hard work of all Canadians who are taking action to improve the environment at home, at work, in their communities and throughout the world."

Well, I suppose that this is cheaper than being a week dedicated to actually helping the environment.....

Nope - It's just an awareness campaign.

I'd have missed it completely except that some helpfull soul ensured that I would become aware of this awareness campaign.

The did their part by printing up hundreds of copies of the official poster on heavy bond letter-sized paper on an inkjet printer, and plastered them all over the building I work in. To ensure that no-one missed it, and in keeping with policies of institutionalized official bilingualism, they printed out separate copies for each official language, and posted them all side by side.


After all.... it's not like they could have just emailed it to everyone.


Nah.... then it might actually be a week dedicated to helping the environment.....

Morons.

Thanks Nanne. The columbine is about the only flower I have at this house as I have never really got around to gardening since we moved. It survives by simple virtue that it won't die on it's own.

It's a pretty little thing while it lasts though.

Thanks. Normally these guys are pretty skittish, but this one was attacking a tree next to a playground and let me get within five or six feet of it without complaint. I guess compared to the kids I was pretty darned quiet... :)

Those are spectacular pictures, Mike!

As for the posters, I thought the requirements were only English and French. Or do you have to include Cree and the rest of the "native" languages as well (you wonder how I know that - I listen to Radio Canada International every once in a while - and I know their transmitter is in Sackville. New Brunswick - LOL).
