I took my client out to Welland Community Orchard & wheeled him around the community orchard park. He had never been there before & loved seeing everything there. It was a lovely post-lunch outing.

Ella & I will be attending #BartholomewCollective & #FoodNotBombs event with free food, music, and community organizing 2-4pm on Saturday, March 28 at Red Cedar Cafe (1900 Douglas Street). I'm not eating there but taking home some food. We will be representing LifeCycles Project Society at this local grassroots, food security/food equity & community building/connecting event ✌️
