PWEP Year-End Thank You
Friends,
As the year draws to a close, we want to send out a message of gratitude. Thank you, all of you, for your support and engagement over this past year. We’ve come a long way, and none of this would have been possible without you!
And of course a big thank you to our amazing, hard-working volunteers. We also want to thank the Small Change Fund for continuing to partner with us in our efforts to protect and preserve fragile natural environments in Inverhuron. The SCF continues to provide invaluable resources as well as the fundraising platform we need to carry on our work.
Thanks to all your generous donations we are well positioned for tackling the initial challenges of 2025, but may need to reach out to you again as we progress through the year. As always, we will make every dollar count.
We will continue to oppose the Tidman development through the judicial review process. The first of two hearings is expected to be scheduled in the coming months, and PWEP’s legal counsel is optimistic as to the outcome. We will continue to keep a close eye on the proposed Sundance development; by means of reassurance, so far we have no indication that the project will move forward. And finally, we will continue to challenge the municipality and the county on their proposed Land Use designation for Inverhuron. The email campaign to municipal councillors was very effective, thanks to all of you. This is a true example of a community working together to make our voices heard, and the results are showing. PWEP’s Alternative Land Use Proposal is being considered by county planners, and we will keep you informed every step of the way.
As always, you can read about our activities on the PWEP website; we do our best to post all new material and keep the website up to date, so that it may serve as a resource for the community.
As a special year-end gesture, we leave you with a couple of brief excerpts from Braiding Sweetgrass, a beacon of a book for the field of conservation written by environmentalist and indigenous scientist Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer. We hope you find enjoyment and inspiration in these texts, and we wish you all the best for the New Year.
In gratitude,
