The map aims to highlight the places where locally-produced foods can be accessed, grown, prepared, shared or bought.

However, more than half of bike routes aren’t comfortable for most cyclists because of higher posted speeds, proximity to vehicles and high traffic volumes. On Friday, HUB Cycling and TransLink released the first-ever report on the state of cycling in the region, which looked at cycle routes in 21 municipalities, one electoral area and one First Nation with the goal of developing a way of classifying bikeways by type and comfort level.
The report also measures progress toward regional goals of more and safer cycling, supports more effective and efficient print maps and online route-planning tools, guides municipal and regional planning to fill gaps in the cycling network and builds on research that examines health outcomes in Metro. Brian Minter: Citizen-led Butterflyway Project aims for a pollinator revival. With the climatic changes taking place, many of our indigenous animals, birds and pollinators have been struggling for survival, and their numbers are falling.
We’re all aware of the many challenges faced by the beautiful monarch butterflies and their decline.

The cafés joined forces to pioneer a consignment program called La Tasse. Customers who come in to grab a coffee without a mug of their own can get a bright blue reusable cup with a deposit of $5. They can later return the cup and get their money back at any participating location. Whitehorse shop cuts waste for greener tattoos.
