2020 Annual Report & Notebook 2020 ANNUAL REPORT & NOTEBOOK GROWING A DIVERSE & RESILIENT WORKFORCE 2020 REPORT PROJECT LEARNING TREE CANADA An initiative of SFI Project Learning Tree Canada (PLT Canada) continues to support young Canadians on rewarding green career paths. Thanks to our partners in the SFI and Canadian Parks Council (CPC) networks, we have now placed youth (aged 15-30) in over 3,500 Green Jobs across the country since 2018, while continuing to achieve gender balance across all our job placements. We have also supported over 500 Indigenous youth from over 80 Indigenous communities and delivered our first of many mentorship cohorts to come, with over 200 mentees and mentors supported in diverse national and Indigenous cohorts between 2020-2021. Above all, we are proud of our ever-increasing impact on young, passionate people across the country. In many cases, this impact has been life-changing. As one young Indigenous man said (see his quote on p. 25), PLT Canada “opened up a new path in life I would never have thought of for myself!” Results like these inspire us, motivate us, and make us more committed than ever to continue to build and improve on our successes. Thank you to the Government of Canada for financial support, and to the hundreds of caring organizations throughout the SFI and CPC networks who have taken steps to ensure that a young person’s first experience in a green job is a rewarding one, whether in the forest and conservation or parks sector. We’re excited to be working with you, passionate young people, employers, mentors, and valued partners, as we continue to grow a diverse and resilient workforce for years to come.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • A Watershed Forest Plan for the Grand River
    A Watershed Forest Plan for the Grand River “For the community, by the community” June 2004 i A Watershed Forest Plan for the Grand River Sponsored By: Grand River Conservation Authority 400 Clyde Road, P.O. Box 729 Cambridge, Ontario, N1R 5W6 Website: http://www.grandriver.ca Copyright Grand River Conservation Authority, 2004 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people collaborated to bring to completion “A Watershed Forest Plan for the Grand River”. The guiding principle for this process was “ by the community, for the community”, and so the Stakeholder’s Group is at the heart of this success – interested citizens from across the watershed representing various viewpoints. Their knowledge, time, and interest made this plan possible. The following were primary authors of sections of the plan: 1.1 A Brief History - Virgil Martin 2.2 Invasive Exotics and 2.5 Significant Natural Areas – John Ambrose 2.3 Diversity – Cathy Nielsen 2.4 Species at Risk – Jason Culp 3.1 Municipal Planning, Land Use, and the Forest – Wayne MacMillan 3.2 Urban Forests – Andy Kenney 3.3 Agroforestry – Peter Williams 3.4 Tree-Related By-Laws and 3.5 Silviculture – John Irwin 4.1 Education and Communication – Frank Glew 4.2 Tree Planting – Martin Neumann Other sections were compiled from more than one source, and did not as clearly have a primary author. These authors were peer reviewed and guided by other members of the Forestry Working Group: Ted Cheskey, Mary Gartshore, Henry Kock, Terry Schwan, Ted Taylor, Dr. Suzanne Wetzel. Several people from the Stakeholders Group were particularly active in the creation of the plan: Mary Hopkins, Cheryl Huxted, Kevin Parton, Elvin Rudy, Rob Wallis.
