Josh will speak about urban farming in Lethbridge.
What is Permaculture?
Permaculture (permanent agriculture) is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems.
It is the harmonious integration of landscape and people — providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way. Without permanent agriculture there is no possibility of a stable social order.
Permaculture design is a system of assembling conceptual, material, and strategic components in a pattern which functions to benefit life in all its forms.
The philosophy behind permaculture is one of working with, rather than against, nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless action; of looking at systems in all their functions, rather than asking only one yield of them; and allowing systems to demonstrate their own evolutions.
Lethbridge Sunrise is very excited about our new Interact Club at Victoria Park School, an alternative school.
MY CHOICE, MY PATH, MY FUTURE speaks to
the approach we take putting each student in the centre of his or her plan. We consult with students as to their needs and goals, then design an educational plan to help ensure their success. Our staff feels like it is a privilege to serve each student and honours the choice students make to be a part of our community.
We believe that our students are unique and capable learners who deserve a spectrum of creative opportunities to achieve success in a safe and caring, respectful, and supportive environment that will provide them with skills for now and in the future.
To provide a safe, supportive and challenging environment, with an occupational focus, that will enable students to develop academic, social and emotional skills. Our programs will accommodate unique learning styles and encourage responsible choices within flexible learning communities. Victoria Park High School will strive to maximize individual potential and to ensure that all students are equipped to meet the opportunities of education, work and life.
A huge thank you goes to fellow Rotarian Kim Derksen for all of her dedication to these students!! Their meetings are a delight!!
The Rotary Club of Lethbridge East has moved from the Country Kitchen downstairs at the Keg to their new home in the Saddle Room at the Lethbridge and District Exhibition Grounds, effective immediately.
Lethbridge East meets at 6:00 on Tuesday evening. They look forward to hosting visiting Rotarians and other guests at their new venue.
