π¨NEW MERCH ALERT! π¨The LRCA has worked with our friends at Shout Media to develop ten unique icons, one for each of our ten Conservation Areas, and the merch has arrived! We have T-shirts for each Conservation Area, along with buttons, stickers and patches. Additionally, we have a new narrow-mouth Nalgene brand water bottle decorated with all of the Area designs, which includes a sticker sheet so you can use your water bottle as a Conservation Area passport! Just stick on the corresponding sticker after you visit the area! There is also an extremely limited number of Mills Block hoodies and crew neck sweatshirts available. All our new merch, as well as existing merch and our Explore Card Parking Passes are available for purchase on our webstore as well as here at our Administrative Office in Thunder Bay.Join us in showing support for your favourite local Conservation Area! https://lakeheadca.com/shop/
The LRCA is thrilled to showcase this stunning community mural painting!This August, we collaborated with local artist Shelby Gagnon (@rootveggi) to paint the memorial bench at the new Indigenous Community Medicine Garden.We are so grateful to Shelby for guiding us, and to all of the community members who came together to create this beautiful and vibrant reflection of the surrounding natural environment. This was a special opportunity to connect with the land and each other through this mode of art!This bench offers space for reflection along the Neebing-McIntyre Floodway, in the centre of a newly planted garden thriving with plants native to Northwestern Ontario. Be sure to check it out while the plants are in bloom!
