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.

    OCTOBER 2019 LONG POINT BUTTERFLY COUNT Article by Adam Timpf, NFN Member and Organizer The 28th annual Long Point butterfly count took our species total was about average. I’m sure we place this year on Saturday July 6th, with 36 would have added a few more species and many observers in various groups surveying different more individuals had the weather cooperated. areas in an attempt to identify and count each butterfly encountered. The forecast the night before was calling for a lot of rain, but I was hoping there would be breaks in the weather. My optimism was short lived when most of Saturday was dominated by rain. Some groups packed it in early, while others were able to fit in a few hours in the late afternoon. This was by far the wettest count in our 28-year history, and we could have cancelled the event all together. However, despite the fact most groups could only count for a couple hours, we tallied a remarkable amount and diversity of butterflies. Juvenal's Duskywing Photo by Bernie Solymár The biggest surprise may be that we managed to set new count highs for a few species despite the shortened day. The 39 Northern Cloudywings and 30 Crossline Skippers smash the old records of 14 and 12 respectively. This is mainly due to a few observers surveying some restored prairie fields on NCC property that were probably not surveyed on past counts. Just goes to show you, if you plant it, they will come! Five Juvenal’s Duskywings ties the previous high, perhaps an indication of a cooler than average spring as these are an early season flying Northern Cloudywing Photo by Tom Murray species.
