Sunday June 14th – Join us for a joyful gathering. Topic: Saving the Hidden Ravine, Environmental Protection at a Grassroots Level
1110 Hillside Ave
Speaker: Steve Morgan
When I first slid down the bank into the ravine and looked around, I was astonished that something so beautiful, so exotic, was hidden just a few hundred metres from my backyard. I knew the land was slated for development, and I remember saying to myself, “This place is going to break my heart.” Fifteen years later, we are still fighting to protect this landform. In the process, we are learning a great deal about the power of maps, the potential of activism, and the power and limits of local government. Join me as I tell the story of the Hidden Ravine.
Bio: Steve Morgan is a biologist, map maker, and community activist. He founded Cumberland Wetlands a decade ago to gather baseline data and advocate for the protection of wetlands and other important landforms from the effects of development in Cumberland, BC.
Forum: After the service, there will be a coffee/tea break, followed by a forum at 11:15 AM to discuss the topic. Steve will be present.
