Not Far From The Tree has established a new hub in Riverdale.
From the announcement:
Not Far From The Tree is a non-profit organization that connects people with fruit trees and local agencies. A team of trained volunteers pick the tree and the fruit is divided three ways, between the tree owner, the volunteer pickers, and a local community agency such as a food bank or shelter.
Tree owners get a substantial amount of fruit without the work or mess, and good food gets put to good use instead of rotting on the ground. This year the organization has established a new “hub” in the Riverdale area.
If you have a tree you would like picked (this year or next), are interested in being a volunteer picker, or would like more information, visit www.notfarfromthetree.org or contact Riverdale hub coordinator, Chris Sharp, at chris@notfarfromthetree.org.

News report:
Elizabeth May doesn’t think now is the best time to be shoveling money to the richest corporations on earth.
Full statement:
Salil Shetty, the global secretary-general of Amnesty International, delivered a blistering attack on Harper’s record on human rights actions, in a report released March 31 entitled Getting Back On The Rights Track. ‘Globally, Canada’s reputation as a reliable human-rights champion has dropped precipitously,’ Amnesty stated.
Green Leader Elizabeth May responded, ‘Canadians are aware of the current Government’s indifference for human rights and its disdain for the organizations that defend them. There has been a definite drift away from the traditional Canadian values of taking leadership in human rights and a change of government is urgently required to rebuild trust.’
Thanks to Glenn Macintosh, of ecoSanity, for these videos:
The broadcasting elite have shut Green Party Leader Elizabeth May out of the televised Leaders’ Debates. They don’t want you to hear Elizabeth May speak about climate change, local food, clean air and clean water. Read more »
