We LOVE the forget-me-nots, violas, and dandelions springing up in our yard! Less intervention is often the best way to cultivate a healthy environment. https://www.cbc.ca//prince-edward/pei-no-mow-may-1.6029279

ACSW staff are proud to be part of this fiesty group! We work alongside many incredible individuals and organizations to make basic income a reality in PEI. The PEI Working Group for a Livable Income is excited to congratulate the Legislative Assembly of PEI for endorsing the final report of the Special Committee on Poverty in PEI, which recommends a basic income guarantee for PEI. The report provides a fully costed, workable, and achievable model for a basic income guarantee that could eliminate poverty in PEI. It was a groundbreaking day for PEI and Canada when this important report was adopted, and the time to act on the report is now! https://www.facebook.com/cbigpei

Gratitude post! These two amazing women work hard all year to share content you will find inspiring, interesting and useful -- in the weekly e-news (Becky, on the left) and here on Facebook (Michelle, on the right). This year, they kept up the great work and were here for you despite having to do every single, blessed thing differently for pandemic times and grieving for our togetherness as a community. If you have a moment to offer a virtual hug to say thanks or to let them know what you like in their e-news and Facebook posts, please do. And wish them a well-deserved holiday! - Jane
