For some, I can appreciate that having snow on the ground is not their most enjoyable thing. I understand. But to me, the crisp winter air almost smells of Christmas. What’s not to love! Time with family, the warmth of the woodstove, all after a cheek-reddening day outside playing in the snow. It is fascinating that with a little time outside in winter, my brain starts working to ready itself for the upcoming adventure this time of year offers. The kind of adventure that only a new semester of Enviro can bring. I get the usual set of butterflies, the film festival anticipation, and the ending of the seemingly forever wait to get things going. This year, it has already been off to a special start. One that I could not have anticipated. We have been given the incredible opportunity and honour to attend the Canadian Environmental Education conference at Acadia University in Wolfville, NS as the only class in the country to do so. Wow. Special would be an understatement, and we haven’t even begun the semester! To have the chance to work alongside and to learn from some of the best environmental leaders in the country is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now the real challenge is to take on the monstrous task of fundraising to make the opportunity possible. Finances are the only limitation to attending, and with that, if it is meant to be I think we have no option but to step up to do what we can in order to make this adventure possible. It’s the time of year when family, friends and community are so very important, and in this first Enviro challenge, it might be the very thing we need to make this opportunity a reality. Stay tuned!
