This Sunday, at more than 6300 events in 187 countries, citizens around the world will shatter a dangerous myth: that the global climate movement has somehow disappeared. We’ll show world leaders and the media that we’re bigger, more diverse, and more creative than ever — and that we simply won’t give up until our planet, and those who live on it, are safe.
For Lethbridge’s part in the global work party, the focus will be on the Campus Roots Cooperative Garden:
Plans are in the works to expand the Campus Roots Cooperative Garden at the University of Lethbridge into a Westside Community Garden that will be open to all members of the community. The University has granted us a huge section of land, and we’re in the midst of negotiations with the the City of Lethbridge to begin the expansion, possibly next spring! We need the support of Lethbridge residents and the soon to be elected city council (election is on October 18th!) in order for this garden to be a success and to set Lethbridge on a path towards food sustainability.
For 10/10/10, we will be completing our new composting system. We’re inviting you to come help us put the finishing touches on our project, and to bring any bags of leaves from your yard, kitchen scraps from your thanksgiving dinner or other compostable items to add to our new compost bin!

I’m a webslinger located in Lethbridge, AB. I love all things nerdy, like cartoons and videogames, and am also a bit of a foodie. When I travel, I always keep my eyes out for hot springs and great places to adventure with my wife, Melissa.
