In Canada, March typically marks the transition from winter to spring. The popular phrase “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb” is often used to describe this transition, suggesting that the month starts with harsh, winter-like conditions and ends with milder, spring-like weather. This is not specific to Canada alone, but a common theme in many regions with distinct seasonal changes.

There is suffering by many animals that are attractive to the fur industry. The loss of habitat is as cruel but usually with less drama look at the video in the below photo shared with us by former CBC writer Mark Rennie Forsyth. It is less drama then seeing the results when an animal ches his foot off to escape this crule bite.
The use of leg-hold traps on fur-bearing animals has been a subject of significant controversy and ethical concern. These traps are designed to capture animals by gripping their legs, leading to injury, pain, and distress. The suffering caused by such traps has sparked debates around the world, leading to increased scrutiny and calls for more humane alternatives.
Many organizations and individuals advocate for the prohibition or strict regulation of leg-hold traps, emphasizing the need to prioritize animal welfare and minimize unnecessary suffering in the fur industry. Efforts to raise awareness about the impact of these traps and promote ethical treatment of animals continue to be essential in addressing this issue.
It is important to explore and support sustainable and ethical alternatives to fur production, ensuring the well-being of animals and the preservation of natural habitats. The ongoing dialogue about the use of leg-hold traps reflects the broader ethical considerations surrounding human interaction with wildlife and the environment.

Salmon in the Nicola river, finished its natural life cycle.. Photo KDG
Thursday March 21st 2024, NVIT lecture theater, top of the Hill Belshaw avenue
A presentation from local ecologist at the Nicola Valley institute of technology, 7:00 p.m. in the lecture theater, free parking, no refreshments in the lecture theater. There is a raffle to support a college student bursary sponsored by NNS ( Nicola naturalist Society).
Salmon undergo an incredible life cycle, starting and ending in freshwater. After hatching from eggs in gravel river beds, young salmon spend several months to a few years in their natal streams before journeying to the ocean. In the ocean, they grow and mature over a period of one to several years, before returning to their original freshwater spawning grounds to reproduce and complete the cycle. This remarkable journey is not without challenges, as salmon must navigate through various predators and obstacles both in freshwater and the open ocean. Once they spawn and die, their bodies provide essential nutrients to the ecosystem. This cycle of life and death plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the natural world. Ai and Editor

To create a pleasant dream escape as a form of therapy, you can follow these steps:
Visualization: Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down. Close your eyes and imagine a peaceful and serene fantasy place. This can be a tranquil beach, a lush forest, or any setting that brings you comfort and relaxation.
Engage the Senses: As you visualize your fantasy place, focus on engaging all your senses. Imagine the sight of the surroundings, the sound of the gentle waves or rustling leaves, the feel of the warm sun or soft grass, and even the faint scent of the environment.
Deep Breathing: While visualizing your fantasy place, practice deep breathing to enhance relaxation. Inhale slowly through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and then exhale slowly through your mouth. This can help reduce stress and promote a sense of calm.
Positive Affirmations: Incorporate positive affirmations into your visualization. Repeat phrases such as “I am safe and at peace” or “I am surrounded by tranquility and serenity” to enhance the therapeutic effect.
Practice Regularly: Set aside time each day to practice this therapy. The more you engage in the visualization of your fantasy place, the more effective it can be in reducing stress and promoting emotional well-being.

Remove Standing Water: Eliminate any sources of standing water in and around your home, as they can attract pests like mosquitoes.
Regular Cleaning: Keep your home clean and clutter-free to reduce hiding spots for pests and minimize potential nesting areas.
Maintain Outdoor Area: Trim vegetation and keep a clear space between the exterior of your home and any landscaping to reduce the likelihood of pests finding their way inside.
Natural Repellents: Consider using natural repellents such as cedarwood, mint, or essential oils to deter pests.
By implementing these measures, you can help prevent household pests without resorting to pesticides.
