Local Raises Funds for YWCA and Food Bank
TWU Local 203 hosted a fund raiser held on behalf of the YWCA at Cardel Place on April 18, 2012 in Calgary, where a viewing of Eye of the Storm took place. CBTU Communications Secretary Isabelle Miller was asked to share a few words on behalf of the chapter by event coordinator Bonnie Devine. The local was able to donate $525.00 to the YWCA in support of their important work in the community. Contributors also provided substantial donations to the Calgary Food Bank, which is in need of contributions at this time of the year. A special thanks to all that attended, including chapter members Tricia Watt and Hans-Woosly Balan.

Why? It’s simple – the extraordinary benefits of time spent outdoors should be available to all. Outdoors, is a great big, beautiful earth, where children and adults can learn about themselves through the experience of exploring in nature. One cannot love what one doesn’t know. If we want children to become adults who will care for and protect the earth, we must encourage a strong relationship with the natural world.
