Last chance to sponsor a CN Tower climber

I woke up this morning feeling somehow surprised that I had agreed to climb the CN Tower for a third year in a row (is it possible for knees to wince?). But really, when I think about it, how can I say no?

Green gift guide: 2011 edition

Snow or no, once I start seeing ridiculous news about Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I start thinking about holiday gifts. But what I hear from my friends and family is that they don’t need any “stuff.”

Polar Bears inspire Coca-Cola to turn red cans white for WWF

Well, I don’t know about where you are, but in these parts, it’s pretty clear that winter’s on its way. As I drove into work this morning, the temperature was a bleak and shivery -6C. And during my weekend errand runs I was treated to sights of holiday decorations that put me in mind of those wonderful Coca-Cola commercials, remember the ones? With the animated polar bears all having fun, then settling down and drinking a cold Coke?

Good to give

If you’ve ever felt a warm glow after you’ve given a few dollars to support a cause you believe in, you already know what researchers are discovering: donating makes you feel good.

Global Tiger Day: WWF calls for an end to poaching

Silent as night – just a flash of orange and black in amongst the trees. Tigers are mysterious, majestic, and awe-inspiring creatures. As top predators, they depend on their habitat, and their ecosystem relies on them. So what right do humans have to take that away?

Painting the town recycled

A room stacked full of bottles, egg cartons, bits of fabric, cork, newspapers, plastic lids, and much more, might sound like a scene from “Hoarders”. But to the children at The Chartwell House Early Learning Center in Oakville, Ontario, this room is one full of artistic inspiration.

Did I make a Difference in the World from a Kayak?

In my blog to you on July 18 I told of my hope and dream to Paddle the Yukon River (1600 km) in Support of Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan. Why? To raise awareness of water and women.

Who says you can’t make a difference from a kayak?

I have no idea what drew me to water and led to this passion to sustain and protect it over the past 20 years. Perhaps the fact that it connects us all through our dependencies on it irrespective of what we do, where we live, how much money we make, or if we ever consider it.

Our awesome volunteers: Venus and Iris Pun wake up early to make a difference

There aren’t too many teenagers who would choose to wake up at 3 a.m. on a rainy Saturday morning, travel two hours across downtown Toronto and volunteer their time all day to help set up and execute a massive fundraising event, without ever having done it before and not knowing what to expect – all because her older sister told her she had to. But that is exactly what Venus Pun did this past April for WWF’s CN Tower Climb.

RSA running for the environment on the Toronto Island

On June 10, we set sail across Lake Ontario with the Panda to join the RSA staff and their families for their annual 5 km run (walk, skip or stroll) on Ward’s Island. By engaging their employees in a fun filled day of music, food and outdoor fun RSA proves that they are a company that thinks beyond their office walls.

Young wildlife supporter melts hearts and raises funds for WWF

It takes something special to disarm the seasoned, cynical former journalist that I am. Even my kids will attest to the fact that I’m not a sentimentalist. But this week a remarkable girl visited our office, armed with money and passion, and she awed me.
