Chapter Communiqué b y Trish Kaplan, CCI (Hon ’ s)
According to Google, after the equinox, Spring in the Northern Hemisphere began on March 20 th and ends on June 21 st . So, we are still in Spring mode. The longer days, the magnificent blossoming trees, the colourful sprouting flowers, the greening grass and perhaps best, the warmth of sunshine make it very welcome. The arrival of Spring brings ‘ busy ’ or perhaps “ busier ” into condominiums. Those who plan have been doing; those who have been enlisted to take on the workload have begun; and those who want to enjoy their community are waiting for everything to happen. We are all experiencing some anxiety and the causes are real for every one of us. We are doing the best we can under circumstances beyond anyone ’ s control. A pandemic, wildfires, war, supply chain issues, shortage of trades and the list goes on, continue to get in our way of progress It ’ s not like we haven ’ t had challenges in the past. “ If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience. ” George Bernard Shaw Understanding the reality from those who can be forthright and transparent about the challenges we are facing will make it easier for us all to come to terms. Patience is waning, it is true. ‘ Patience is not the ability to wait, but how to act while you ’ re waiting .’ Insprie99 Wildlife in the City The City of London has a Humane Urban Wildlife Policy. Wild animals are part of our urbane landscape. Our furry friends have set up home to have their babies and train them (sure is faster done than people). Residents are encouraged to learn about the wildlife in our city and communities because they are sharing space with them, so that sharing space is safe and enjoyable. For more information about all things animal, visit the City of London ’ s website https://london.ca/ living - london/community - services/animal - pet - services/wildlife - city Mostly we hear about rabbits, raccoons and skunks invading our space. It has been particularly relevant with all the building that is going on across our city. Birthing and newborns take a little time so our patience is appreciated. It is important to remember to keep our wildlife wild. Never feed wildlife. Human food is not nutritious for wildlife and can cause serious health problems. These animals need their natural diets and are able to find their own food. Condolences and well - wishes Health issues among members of our communities have been distressing to family and friends but also in communities. To those who have suffered loss, we extend our most heartfelt condolences. To those who are in various stages of ill - health, we wish you strength, comfort and a speedy recovery.
