  Let’s GOGO!! Event Summary Report:
  
  Dr Paula Stewart’s (Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, Medical Officer of Health) keynote address, ‘Nature and Your Health’, was right on target. She had the evidence, the passion, the audience engaged, and wonderful photography to complement her presentation.

  2. Build a Bird Feeder – Clifford Bennett
