In a May 22 news release, Manitoba Seniors for Sustainability said they launched a fundraising campaign to support three environmental groups in the province. The three groups — The Green Action Centre, Cli- mate Change Connection and the Manitoba Eco- Network — are receiving no provincial funding this year. That’s a total loss of $360,000 to the organiza- tions. Seniors are calling on seniors now to use their $200 from the government and send it to these or- ganizations. vironmental issues don’t go away when other prob- “Environmental issues are those if we don’t pay This $360,000 is less than one per cent of the $45 lems arise.
