SUMMARY:Good Grief - Winter 2024
DESCRIPTION:Good Grief: Nature Walking Through Grief and Loss in Winter\, 2024\nThanks to a long-standing partnership with Mount Royal University Professor Sonya Jakubec\, Good Grief: Nature Walking Through Grief and Loss will be offered in Winter 2024. This program is aimed at providing support to those experiencing grief\, loss or major life transition.  \nThis eight-week program simply provides an opportunity for participants to connect with nature while connecting with others who share similar experiences. Although not a grief therapy program\, Good Grief may provide valuable connection and healing for both participants and volunteer companions. Companions are not providing counseling or therapy; they simply share a common goal of connecting with nature as a place of refuge in acceptance of our journeys of life transition.  \nRegardless of the transition you are experiencing – be it the loss of a loved one\, job or relationship\, a significant change in health or mobility\, or other deep changes in your life – spending time in nature with people who are on a similar journey might be just the support you need. \nWe invite you to come walk with us. We are going to have two separate sessions this Winter. \n\nWednesday Afternoon: 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm\, From January 10 to February 28 \n\nRegistration required. Outings will run in a variety of weather conditions\, but may be canceled if severe weather is in the forecast. Participants are encouraged to dress in layers. \nRegister Here \n  \nEach outing will begin with a reading or a shared experience\, followed by a walk on a fairly easy 1.5-2 km route. Each of the four routes will be repeated once during the eight-week program – a chance to reflect on the changes in the landscape and ourselves over time. Time\, nature and low pressure companionship can be our best supports. \nIf you would like to learn more about the Good Grief program or discuss the program goals and discoveries from previous Good Grief programs\, please feel free to contact Sonya Jakubec\, our partner at Mount Royal at sjakubec@mtroyal.ca. Inquiries regarding program accessibility can be directed to Rose Ratliffe\, Friends of Fish Creek Volunteer Good Grief Companion at ratliffe@shaw.ca. \nThank you to our Partners and Volunteers for keeping the Good Grief program going! Proceeds support the Friends of Fish Creek’s ongoing efforts to engage the public in responsible stewardship of Fish Creek Provincial Park. \n \n \n  \nPhoto courtesy of Stan Kwasniowski

SUMMARY:Rare Plants in Alberta - Green Milkweed and Sticky Purple Geranium
DESCRIPTION:Rare Plants in Alberta – Green Milkweed and Sticky Purple Geranium\nAssessing the Community Co-occurrence Patterns and Pollinator-mediated Relationships of Green Milkweed and Purple Geranium in Southern Alberta  \n\nThursday\, February 22\, 2024 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm \nOnline \nPresented by Tory Blanchard\, Masters of Ecology Student – University of Calgary \nConservation needs a greater focus on how rare species interact within their neighborhoods. Rare plants have been found to exist in areas that are positively associated. These are areas with plant communities that facilitate or help one another. One example of facilitation occurs through shared pollinators. Common plants may attract numerous pollinating species\, such as bees and butterflies\, to a community and the rare plants who rely on these pollinators for their reproduction will benefit indirectly from the common plants. Although studies have examined how pollinators can facilitate indirect relationships with other plants\, few works have addressed how rare plants may benefit from pollination facilitation that does not involve co-flowering\, such as sequential mutualism. Tory’s work will examine the distribution\, assembly\, and pollinator-mediated plant interactions of two rare species in southern Alberta: Green Comet Milkweed (Asclepias viridiflora) and Sticky Purple Geranium (Geranium viscosissimum). The study will involve collaboration with members of the Kainai First Nation and will use data from community science platforms such as iNaturalist to address these occurrences. \nTory Banchard is Ojibway from Batchewana First Nation. Their Anishinaabe name is Espana Eque. Tory grew up in various places—the Netherlands\, Calgary\, and Venezuela—but calls Calgary their home. Receiving an undergraduate degree from the University of Toronto\, Tory completed an Honours Bachelor of Arts with a major in English Literature\, and minors in Environmental Biology and Book and Media Studies\, and is now pursuing a Master’s degree in Ecology from the University of Calgary. Tory is interested in studying plant ecology and pollinator relationships and working on projects that involve collaboration with Indigenous communities\, and enjoys practicing the bass guitar\, producing music\, and skateboarding. \nFree for Friends members and $10 for non-members. Registration required.  \n\nRegister through Eventbrite\n \nPhoto courtesy of Tory Blanchard

SUMMARY:Good Grief - Spring 2024
DESCRIPTION:Good Grief: Nature Walking Through Grief and Loss in Spring\, 2024\nThanks to a long-standing partnership with Mount Royal University Professor Sonya Jakubec\, Good Grief: Nature Walking Through Grief and Loss will be offered in spring 2024. This program is aimed at providing support to those experiencing grief\, loss or major life transition.  \nThis eight-week program simply provides an opportunity for participants to connect with nature while connecting with others who share similar experiences. Although not a grief therapy program\, Good Grief may provide valuable connection and healing for both participants and volunteer companions. Companions are not providing counseling or therapy; they simply share a common goal of connecting with nature as a place of refuge in acceptance of our journeys of life transition.  \nRegardless of the transition you are experiencing – be it the loss of a loved one\, job or relationship\, a significant change in health or mobility\, or other deep changes in your life – spending time in nature with people who are on a similar journey might be just the support you need. \nWe invite you to come walk with us.  \n\nWednesday Morning: 10:00 am – 11:30 am\, From April 3 to May 22\, 2024 \n\nRegistration required. Outings will run in a variety of weather conditions\, but may be canceled if severe weather is in the forecast. Participants are encouraged to dress in layers. \nRegistration is now open.   \nRegister Here \n  \n  \nEach outing will begin with a reading or a shared experience\, followed by a walk on a fairly easy 1.5-2 km route. Each of the four routes will be repeated once during the eight-week program – a chance to reflect on the changes in the landscape and ourselves over time. Time\, nature and low pressure companionship can be our best supports. \nIf you would like to learn more about the Good Grief program or discuss the program goals and discoveries from previous Good Grief programs\, please feel free to contact Sonya Jakubec\, our partner at Mount Royal at sjakubec@mtroyal.ca. Inquiries regarding program accessibility can be directed to Rose Ratliffe\, Friends of Fish Creek Volunteer Good Grief Companion at ratliffe@shaw.ca. \nThank you to our Partners and Volunteers for keeping the Good Grief program going!

Companions are not providing counseling or therapy; they simply share a common goal of connecting with nature as a place of refuge in acceptance of our journeys of life transition.  \nRegardless of the transition you are experiencing – be it the loss of a loved one\, job or relationship\, a significant change in health or mobility\, or other deep changes in your life – spending time in nature with people who are on a similar journey might be just the support you need. \nWe invite you to come walk with us. We are going to have two separate sessions this Fall. \n\nWednesday Evening: 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm\, From July 3 to August 21 \n\nRegistration required. Outings will run in a variety of weather conditions\, but may be canceled if severe weather is in the forecast. Participants are encouraged to dress in layers. \nRegister Here \n  \nEach outing will begin with a reading or a shared experience\, followed by a walk on a fairly easy 1.5-2 km route. Each of the four routes will be repeated once during the eight-week program – a chance to reflect on the changes in the landscape and ourselves over time. Time\, nature and low pressure companionship can be our best supports. \nIf you would like to learn more about the Good Grief program or discuss the program goals and discoveries from previous Good Grief programs\, please feel free to contact Sonya Jakubec\, our partner at Mount Royal at sjakubec@mtroyal.ca. Inquiries regarding program accessibility can be directed to Rose Ratliffe\, Friends of Fish Creek Volunteer Good Grief Companion at ratliffe@shaw.ca. \nThank you to our Partners and Volunteers for keeping the Good Grief program going!

SUMMARY:Good Grief - Winter 2025
DESCRIPTION:Good Grief: Nature Walking Through Grief and Loss — Winter 2025\nThanks to a long-standing partnership with Mount Royal University Professor Sonya Jakubec\, Good Grief: Nature Walking Through Grief and Loss will be offered in Winter 2025. This program is aimed at providing support to those experiencing grief\, loss or major life transition.  \nThis eight-week program simply provides an opportunity for participants to connect with nature while connecting with others who share similar experiences. Although not a grief therapy program\, Good Grief may provide valuable connection and healing for both participants and volunteer companions. Companions are not providing counseling or therapy; they simply share a common goal of connecting with nature as a place of refuge in acceptance of our journeys of life transition.  \nRegardless of the transition you are experiencing – be it the loss of a loved one\, job or relationship\, a significant change in health or mobility\, or other deep changes in your life – spending time in nature with people who are on a similar journey might be just the support you need. \nWe invite you to come walk with us. \nThe Winter 2024 edition of Good Grief will take place in two separate sessions: on Wednesdays and on Sundays: \n\nWednesday: 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm\, From January 8 to February 26\, 2025.\nSunday: 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm\, From January 12 to March 2\, 2025.\n\nRegistration required. Outings will run in a variety of weather conditions\, but may be canceled if severe weather is in the forecast. Participants are encouraged to dress in layers. \nFeel free to choose the session that works best for you. \nFriends’ Member price: $20 for 8 weeks session\nNon-Member price: $30 for 8 weeks session \nRegister Here \nTo become a member\, please click here. \nEach outing will begin with a reading or a shared experience\, followed by a walk on a fairly easy 1.5-2 km route. Each of the four routes will be repeated once during the eight-week program – a chance to reflect on the changes in the landscape and ourselves over time. Time\, nature and low pressure companionship can be our best supports. \nSpace is limited to 15 people per session.\nPlease note that we may cancel the session if registrations are less than 7 people. \nIf you would like to learn more about the Good Grief program or discuss the program goals and discoveries from previous Good Grief programs\, please feel free to contact Sonya Jakubec\, our partner at Mount Royal at sjakubec@mtroyal.ca. Inquiries regarding program accessibility can be directed to Rose Ratliffe\, Friends of Fish Creek Volunteer Good Grief Companion at ratliffe@shaw.ca. \nThank you to our Partners and Volunteers for keeping the Good Grief program going! Proceeds support the Friends of Fish Creek’s ongoing efforts to engage the public in responsible stewardship of Fish Creek Provincial Park. \n \n \n  \nPhoto courtesy of Stan Kwasniowski.
