We had an amazing day learning on and from the land. Thank you for connecting our spirit, mind, body and heart. #weareCBE #mookaaksin2022 #area2office https://t.co/ZsKIFtr6zV

RT @yycCCOM: How are we connected? How can we understand ourselves better, through understanding animals? @ZooSchoolyyc @thorncliffecbe Ss explore these Qs during animal observations. Spending time & coming to know an animal, impacts how we understand nature & wildlife. #WeAreCBE @yyCBEdu https://t.co/qTdhzilPMm

RT @ZooSchoolyyc: “Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help we shall be saved.” Jane Goodhall.
