Project Periwinkle SUCCESS!

As we prepare for pumpkin spice and changing leaves, we put our summer projects to rest until next year. Last month, we were joined by The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada and Humaniti to celebrate The A.P.E. Fund (their grant program that made this project possible).

Fourteen more sleeps until our Hike For Hope!! We have seven adventurous kids headed out on their first portage trip into Algonquin, and we will be paddling for Jane. We have been a part of Roots & Shoots since 2020 and all our projects began with the simple questions - ‘What problems can you find in your local environment, and what can YOU do to fix them?’
What small action could you be doing to help our planet heal?
