Canada Post Strike Notice
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers have initiated strike action with a national overtime ban. As a result, Canada Post mailing delays are anticipated. While the postal strike is ongoing, here is what you need to know:
Donations
While the strike is in progress, we encourage donors to make one-time or recurring donations via telephone, e-transfer, on our website, or in person at our office. Please contact us in advance if you are planning to mail donations during the strike.
This spring, we are aiming to raise $38,000 to support our work caring for over 15,000 acres across B.C.
While the words of a covenant agreement promise legal protection of B.C.’s natural habitats, it is the actions of the land trust that ensure that they thrive in perpetuity. TLC has an ongoing duty of care to each of our (now) 251 conservation covenants and 10 properties across the province. For each protected area, we are responsible for land management planning, ecosystem monitoring, covenant-related communications, and, if needed, the facilitation of ecological restoration, covenant defense, and enforcement. With B.C.’s ecosystems comprising northern boreal forests to temperate rainforests, wetlands, grasslands, and everything in between, the stewardship of each protected area is unique and requires delicate attention.
Your invaluable contributions will help us protect new biodiverse areas, perform essential ecological monitoring tasks, and directly steward sites, ensuring B.C.’s natural habitats remain vibrant and healthy for present and future generations to enjoy.
