SUMMARY:GIANT RAIN BARREL SALE IN MANOTICK 
DESCRIPTION:Always wanted a rain barrel and never got around to getting one?   You’re in luck…two of your favourite charities\, the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind and the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation\, are combining forces to bring you a timely\, convenient and inexpensive chance to finally get your rain barrel.    Rain barrel orders are now being taken for pickup on Saturday\, April 14\, 2012.   Pick up is from 9 am to 1 pm at the barn at 4082 Rideau Valley Drive (beside Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind Headquarters which is less than one kilometre east of the Rideau Valley Conservation Centre).    No household limits and no residency requirements are imposed … it’s an ideal time to order one for home but perhaps more importantly\, one for the cottage too.   Runoff from both city properties and cottage lots into lakes\, creeks and storm sewers can be a major source of contamination.   Rain barrels effectively and safely reduce the amount of water running directly into your local watercourse or lake (or your storm sewer in the city); they encourage infiltration of rain and snow on your property; and they provide a ready\, inexpensive source of excellent water for the garden all summer long.    Each barrel comes fully equipped with a leaf and mosquito filter\, an overflow adaptor (permitting multiple barrels to be connected in series)\, 1.2 metres of overflow hose and spigot that attaches directly to a garden hose.    The price is $55 per barrel all inclusive.   Additional overflow hose can also be purchased if required.    Please ORDER YOUR BARRELS IN ADVANCE ONLINE at http://rainbarrel.ca/guidedogs/.   Bring your receipt to 4082 Rideau Valley Drive\, Manotick on Saturday\, April 14 to pick up your barrels.    Many thanks in advance for supporting Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind and Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation and for conserving our precious water resources.

SUMMARY:Annual Moonlight Snowshoe Challenge
DESCRIPTION:CPAWS Ottawa Valley is having it's annual Moonlight Snowshoe Challenge in Gatineau Park (at Meech Creek Valley). Participants are asked to raise at least $100 through sponsorship for the event\, and all of the money raised will go towards CPAWS' efforts to protect forests and wildlife in Canada.    If there is not very much snow or if the snow is packed for the event\, snowshoes wont be required so it will just be a hike. We will be stopping at a camp fire in the forest for hot chocolate and a desert\, which will be provided by CPAWS. This is a great opportunity to get out into the beautiful forest at night to see it from a different prospective\, and is a good opportunity to learn about what CPAWS does in the community/Canada to protect parks and wilderness.

Finding God in Earth: Spirituality in a Time of Ecological Crisis\,  Lecture by Yvonne Prowse at Saint Paul University Amphitheatre Room G1124  The root of the ecological crisis is a spiritual crisis.

Can this be a source of healing our relationships with God\, with other humans and the remainder of Creation – the source of ecological healing? Event held by
