Thank you, thank you for the work you do.

My dad’s farm is right outside of Abernethy, Sk (we lived there for a bit as kids) and I have a lovely piece of your artwork on my wall.

What a multi-celebrative post you have shared. So glad you received a grant to further these important conversations. I look forward to attending the art gallery experience in the fall, and taking time to listen to the video soon.

So glad for you both! Congratulations on the grant!! I know you have both worked hard for this, and I also know you will work hard to put the gift of this grant to very good use.

You can count on me to come visit the art show in the fall. I am so grateful for the work you are doing and sharing with us all. Watched the video with great interest! Thank you both for your willingness to move forward with this project to challenge me and help me to refine my own understanding and relationship with the gift of the land.
