Community Involvement

In April 2012, ten almost-graduates of the Eco System Management Technician Program of Fleming College completed their work placement at Gamiing Nature Centre. Their task was helping remove a non-native and invasive species of the Blackthorn shrub, in what was otherwise known as Gamiing's Buckthorn Removal Project.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or involvement:

    Populism is folkish, patriotism is not. One can be a patriot and a cosmopolitan. But a populist is inevitably a nationalist of sorts. Patriotism, too, is less racist than is populism. A patriot will not exclude a person of another nationality from the community where they have lived side by side and whom he has known for many years, but a populist will always remain suspicious of someone who does not seem to belong to his tribe.
    John Lukacs (b. 1924)

    Even if you find yourself in a heated exchange with your toddler, it is better for your child to feel the heat rather than for him to feel you withdraw emotionally.... Active and emotional involvement between parent and child helps the child make the limits a part of himself.
    Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
