September 30 is Truth and Reconciliation Day, a day to remember students who attended Indian Residential Schools. A day to take time to learn more about Indigenous People and cultures across Turtle Island, to work towards redressing the legacy of residential schools and the continuing injustices towards Indigenous People.
There are many National Day for Truth and Reconciliation events across Canada today, like the Public Art Ceremony unveiling of @allourrelations led by Indigenous artist @angelademontigny in Hamilton, Ontario.

With the third National Day for Truth and Reconcil

With the third National Day for Truth and Reconciliation coming up this Saturday, orange shirts are in high demand. Orange Shirt Day, as it’s otherwise known, is meant to honour the survivors of the residential school system along with those who died at the hands of the organizers of the system.
When you buy an orange shirt, be sure to support an Indigenous artist, an Indigenous-owned business or whose donations are going to reconciliation efforts. This photo shows a shirt @nativeartssociety, hand-printed by intergenerational survivors, with proceeds going to the Toronto Indigenous Harm Reduction, a grassroots initiative with the goal of reducing the harm and burden that society places on Indigenous people.

Junto com @viradasustentavel a Waterlution Brasil

Junto com @viradasustentavel a Waterlution Brasil somou para projetar a mais pura forma de inovação: o sonho. Na semana que finalizamos o piloto do Passos D'água no Rio, a Virada Sustentável projetou em São Paulo a manchete que queremos ver para todo o país - "Jovens participam da tomada de decisão nas políticas relacionadas à água, saneamento e clima em suas comunidades". Para nós, ação climática é ação pela água e ao entregar ferramentas que tornem as juventudes atores ativos no universo da água, saneamento e clima é que vai garantir segurança hídrica para todas as pessoas.
Seguimos juntos e tem muito mais por vir!

Tomorrow is the first day of fall in the Northern

Tomorrow is the first day of fall in the Northern Hemisphere. Weather is cooling, and you might wonder about what our water dwelling species are doing.
Nature Canada describes Brumation: the hibernation-like state that cold-blooded animals (reptiles and amphibians) enter during very cold weather. It is triggered by the onset of colder temperatures and shorter daylight hours and can last for months. Animals in brumation typically wake up to drink water and might shift before returning to sleep.
Blanding’s Turtles and Northern Leopard Frogs are brumating species. The turtles remain underwater until the beginning of Spring, and the frogs spend their winters under the ice of rivers, creeks or ponds. A high concentration of glucose in the vital organs of Leopard Frogs prevents freezing. Once the weather warms and the ice melts, the frog will thaw and its heart and lungs resume normal activities.
