  • “The Last Game” to Bring Awareness to Climate Change
    ISLANDERS TO HOST CHARITY, “THE LAST GAME” TO BRING AWARENESS TO CLIMATE CHANGE EAST MEADOW, NY (DATE, 2019) – The New York Islanders are partnering with United Nations Environmental Department to host a segment of The Last Game, a series of hockey games designed to raise awareness to the impact of climate change. The game will take place at 3 p.m., prior to the Islanders preseason game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, Sept. 17. Originally scheduled to take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, this game will now be at NYCB Live, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Legendary Russian ice hockey player and member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, Viacheslav Fetisov, spearheads the event and is a UN Environment Patron of the Polar Regions. Along with Fetisov, other Hockey Hall of Fame legends, United Nations and National Geographic Society top officials, NYC First Responders, the Manhattan Borough President and hundreds of youth hockey players will be in attendance at Nassau Coliseum. “We are excited to work with the New York Islanders in raising awareness for Climate Change,” Fetisov said. “It is extremely important that we take care of our planet, the most important resource in all our lives. Playing this game with such a tremendous group of distinguished guests in New York will make this our biggest event we’ve hosted in an effort to save the world we love.” “Our environment and the importance of Climate Change are important topics that we cannot ignore,” Islanders President/General Manager Lou Lamoriello said. “To have the chance to support and help raise awareness for these efforts, while also working with Slava, makes this a fantastic event.

  • Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a Proposal – December 2011
    Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a proposal – December 2011 Lord Baden-Powell & Duty to God God is not some narrow-minded personage, as some people would seem to imagine, but a vast Spirit of Love that overlooks the minor differences of form and creed and denomination and which blesses every [person] who really tries to do his [/her] best, according to his [/her] lights, in His service. in “Rovering to Success” Reverence to God, reverence for one’s neighbour and reverence for oneself as a servant of God, are the basis of every form of religion. in “Aids to Scoutmastership” Spirituality means guiding ones’ own canoe through the torrent of events and experiences of one’s own history and of that of [humankind]. To neglect to hike – that is, to travel adventurously – is to neglect a duty to God. God has given us individual bodies, minds and soul to be developed in a world full of beauties and wonders. in “The Scouter” January 1932 The aim in Nature study is to develop a realisation of God the Creator, and to infuse a sense of the beauty of Nature. in “Girl Guiding” Real Nature study means…knowing about everything that is not made by [humans], but is created by God. In all of this, it is the spirit that matters. Our Scout law and Promise, when we really put them into practice, take away all occasion for wars and strife among nations. The wonder to me of all wonders is how some teachers have neglected Nature study, this easy and unfailing means of education, and have struggled to impose Biblical instruction as the first step towards getting a restless, full-spirited boy to think of higher things.
