CPAWS CHAMPIONS

With climate change, I would have liked to see government priorities more strongly favor the environment. Water, being at the heart of our survival, is something I am increasingly concerned about, especially when this precious resource is often jeopardized. The forests, the lungs of the earth, are disappearing at a pace that deeply saddens me. 

I decided to support an organization that shares my core values…in order to amplify the influence I could never achieve if I were fighting alone in my living room. I have decided to do my part by making a monthly donation to the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS). It is the only charity in Canada dedicated to protecting our public lands, our inland waters, and our oceans through a strong national and regional presence across the country. 

…if many contribute, we pool our impact. Together, we are the drops of water that form the ocean.
