Never good to be first on this list. Toronto has the most polluted air quality in the world right now. This is all due to wild fires. This is especially alarming for those with respiratory issues. #smoke #airquality #ClimateEmergency

This is something far sweeter than the smoke that’s been lingering today. Lilacs ! They are part of the olive family & Ontario has one of the world’s largest collections (at Royal Botanical Garden). The scent changes based on climate. Cooler conditions vs hotter conditions. #Day6

Wow look at the speed. This is a Northern Water Snake, for some of you who have a cottage this may be familiar. What's cool about these is unlike most reptiles, they don’t lay eggs; instead, they give birth to live young. Snakes r so important as they help maintain biodiversity.

Check it out . You can see the "pollen basket" on this honey bees hind leg. A single bee can carry a pollen load that's 35% of her own body weight! She heads out several times a day, visiting 50-100 flowers each time.This is Day 8 of my #30DaysOfNature #LoveNature #BeesAreLife

Not “local” per say … but The Toronto Zoo today I was absolutely mesmerized by these seahorses. They’re the slowest-moving fish in the sea, but that’s their superpower. Along with special skin cells that let them camouflage they move so quietly they are stealthy predators.

The Peel District School Board intentionally lied to us. Ignored mandated policies, refused to cooperate with Peel Police & hoped we would stay quiet. Instead, we launched a petition to hold Ontario schools accountable. shorturl.at/0Gf3R Video: shorturl.at/r6MyZ

Thanks Dave Trafford for featuring our story in the "On The Ledge" podcast. holdschoolsaccountable.ca is petitioning for an amendment to the #Education Act that would force schools to provide unredacted investigation reports of serious incidents to parents within 21 days.

From personal experience Peel District School Board think they are above the law. They operate like the Wild Wild West and it’s time to put them under “supervision” too Paul Calandra . Parents join me at holdschoolsaccountable.ca A province wide movement is underway.
