Winnipeg Free Press January 2 2025 New offer to buy Lemay Forest Conservancy aims to buy land from developer for more than $5MThere is not an approved development plan so there is no need to remove trees. Citizens should not have to fight to stop the damage to the Lemay Forest.

Pleased to see there is action and an effort still afoot to buy the forest. Russ Wyatt's suggestion to take money out of the tree budget and put it toward the Lemay Forest may be from good intentions but shows a lack of understanding. There will still be a loss to the urban canopy.

"This is precisely what is wrong with development in Winnipeg — political interference for political gain. You cannot complain about a housing shortage in the city, as Mayor Gillingham regularly does, and then allow these antics to continue. Telling landowners who have held property for over a century that they suddenly cannot develop it is unreasonable. This is not a communist country. The government has limits, and two elected officials have overstepped theirs."

Sector plans are something new the city is working on instead of secondary plans.
Their completion could be a few years off due to funding needed to complete them. There is an option for the developer to complete the plans, with city input as the city doesn't have money to do it themselves.

Memorial Woodland of Manitoba— an idea about burial of loved ones

At risk of being morbid, I am forwarding something that my spouse sent me as part of a discussion about advance planning . I thought that the idea of using one’s human cremains to nourish trees in a memorial woodland is quite interesting. (Spouse received the ad from the Oldies radio station.)
Just FYI as fellow tree fanciers.

Subject: Ininiw Worldview Presentation - Sunday April 27 @ 12:30 - 2:00 pm


Hi

In case anyone is interested ....

I first heard Dr. Hill speak about the Ininiw worldview at a city Greenspace and Biodiversity Plan meeting and invited him to speak at St. Mary's Road United Church. 


This is a public event. 


Dr. Hill has over thirty-five (35) years experience providing research, writing, technical and analytical services for First Nations, government, academia and non-governmental organizations in the field of natural resources, environmental and lands management. His area of special interest is traditional knowledge or Indigenous Science that he has studied and worked with for the entire breadth of his career. His culture and identity provide the guiding philosophies in his work.
 
Join us for a special event!

Ininiw Worldview
Presentation and Q&A
Sunday April 27, 12:30-2pm

Tickets (free) at https://www.eventbrite.ca/ e/ininiw-cree-worldview- presentation-tickets- 1323658501209?aff= oddtdtcreator 


 

Gain an appreciation of the Ininiw (Cree) Worldview and how such an appreciation might contribute to moving forward to reconciliation. Join us for a unique opportunity to learn about the traditional Cree perspective on the world and spirituality.

 

Dr. Stewart Hill was born and raised in northern Manitoba at God’s Lake First Nation. He received a doctorate from the Natural Resources Institute of the University of Manitoba in 2021 and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in natural resources and environmental management.

 

The Ininiw people, commonly referred to collectively as “Cree” in Canada, have a unique worldview. In this presentation, the framework of the Ininiw Worldview is outlined and the components of it are described in a systematic fashion to give the listener a comprehension of what the Worldview entails and how it might differ from their own worldview.
