Second Stop: Winnipeg
Apr 14, 2008
I made a lot of friends in Winnipeg. Everyone was really welcoming, though I was shy at first. They listened to my concerns for my northern Boreal home and realized that they could do something to help. People were eager to let the government know that they cared about my relatives and me – the threatened woodland caribou. Hundreds of postcards were signed in support. Thank you.
First, I went to Mountain Equipment Co-op, where I met the wonderful staff and checked out their great gear. On my tour of the city I saw some of my distant relatives on my way to the Forks. What an adventure!
But it's time to move on. There are still many places to go and people to talk to about the importance of the Boreal forest. If you would like to help protect my home - the Boreal forest, please sign the online petition to the federal Minister of Environment.
Be sure to check back next week to hear about my adventures in Edmonton!
