Land Acknowledgement“I would like to begin by acknowledging the Indigenous Peoples of all the lands that we are on today. While we meet today on a virtual platform, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the importance of the lands, which we each call home. We do this to reaffirm our commitment and responsibility in improving relationships between nations and to improving our own understanding of local Inuit, Metis, and First Nations Peoples and their cultures and rights. We are on Treaty 1 territory and the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. From coast to coast to coast, we acknowledge the ancestral and unceded territory of all the Inuit, Métis, and First Nations Peoples that call this land home.” |

Assiniboine Forest Campaign The Charleswood Rotary club has been stewards of the Assiniboine Forest for over 30 years. Together with the City of Winnipeg Naturalists’ office, we carry out annual maintenance and upgrading to Assiniboine Forest.
The forest is a unique jewel in the suburban Winnipeg landscape that is cherished by its visitors, and community. Comprised of over 700 acres of primarily undisturbed wilderness, Assiniboine Forest is one of the largest urban nature parks of its kind in Canada. The goal of our Assiniboine Forest Long Term Planning study was to provide a clear direction for the stages of forest management and to explore enhancements to improve the visitor experience at Assiniboine Forest while maintaining the ecological sensitivity of the site. |

Garden Boxes for Charleswood School The Charleswood Rotary Club recently completed a project to provide garden boxes at Westgrove School. The boxes allow students to learn about where their food comes from. Principal Troy Calder is raving about the benefits they already see from the gardens. The teachers and students are very excited about what they see as potential for the garden and further development of outdoor education programs. He is hoping in the fall to have parents come when they go to harvest the garden.The students have in turn thanked the members of the Rotary club with giant cards. The club has done an excellent job in completing this project. It is very obvious the appreciation of school staff about the work completed. The site looks very impressive. |
