“A country that cannot feed itself, fuel itself or defend itself has few options,” said Prime Minister Mark Carney in his speech at the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland, on January 20, 2026. Less than four days later, the federal government announced plans to reduce its workforce and shut down seven research stations…
Nestled in a busy urban area near Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Peña de Horeb Christian School is seeing the fruit of an initiative: “I Like and Take Care of the Community Where I Live.” The project began several years ago as teachers at the school sought to answer a simple but profound question: How can…
Looking back at 2025, there was both good and bad news about how we are caring for the world that our Lord has entrusted to us. First, the good news: this past year, for the first time, power generated by solar and wind exceeded coal-generated power. Energy from environmentally friendly sources is now the cheapest…
I see dead people – a lot. As a classically trained anatomist with a passion for cadaveric dissection, my context for that famous line from the 1999 film The Sixth Sense is far more literal. I have spent the last 15 years of my career regularly working with deceased bodies (specifically, cadavers) to teach aspiring…
Earlier this year, the United Nations issued a warning that humanity has two years left to take urgent action on addressing climate change. The historic heat waves, ravaging wildfires and surprise floods of Summer 2024 underscored this warning. The Insurance Bureau of Canada reports that Summer 2024 was the costliest on record, with seven billion…
From name to business model, New Jubilee in northeast Edmonton exists to share a uniquely situated bit of creation even beyond the 50-year timeframe for redistribution prescribed in the biblical Jubilee. People come to band birds, hold events in the on-site yurt, tour the forest and participate in two thriving U-pick operations: Lady Flower Gardens…
“Hunting grizzly bears is the best thing you can do for grizzly bears,” said wildlife artist and outdoorsman Casey Braam. That’s a controversial opinion in B.C., where a recent poll says that 84 percent of the province is in favour of the current ban on grizzly hunting. Braam gets it. He didn’t always think this…
A commentator from the U.K. says this about our landscapes: “It’s about wildness, whether we’re talking about our gardens or the wider countryside. Nature hates neat. What wildlife needs is often the scruffy patches and the bits around the edge. Across the country, we’re losing a lot of our scruffiness.” A friend of mine (now deceased) used…
I’m seated by a river called Snaring. Clouds pile like white laundry on the mountain faces that surround this Jasper vista. The river rushes by and one wonders how a river knows to rush or a waterfall to fall, and that neither ever stops. My friend and her family are here with us and she…
My back aches and I am tired. I just finished planting a pollinator garden in my front yard. Far more exhausting than the physical labour was the year-long struggle to get permission to do a good thing. This experience showed me how complicated it can become when we try to improve how we care for…
A network of Canadian churches and Christian organizations, including Tearfund Canada and A Rocha, have joined together in a group called the Creation Collective. From April 17-19, 220 people attended Creation Collective’s launch events in Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg, either online or in person. Among the attendees were pastors and church leaders. CC interviewed one…
All humanity has this in common: we rely on plants to provide us with nutrients. We also, by extension, rely on the creatures that help our plants flower. Bees play a vital role in pollinating our fruits and vegetables. In short, we all need bees. This simple fact is what fueled Carrie Dohe to start…
