Innovation at its finest! recycle recycle recycle #Repost @get.waste.ed... Capable of catching 50,000 plastic bottles in a year, the Seabin is no joke! It works around the clock cleaning marinas of trash 24/7 versus more expensive and less efficient harbor boats that don't measure up. And it collects a wide range of garbage, from large 5-liter containers all the way down to tiny microplastics. Seabins can also skim the water and remove harmful surface oils that boats can't (and actually create)! It works by sucking polluted water through a catch bag and filter onboard before releasing clean water back into the marina. Not too shabby, eh? . .

#Repost @soseasuk ... How many different ways to reduce food waste can you spot here? ~ A few we’ve spotted: ~ 1. Storing veges stems in water keeps them firm and fresh ~ 2. Making preserves, pickles and sauces is a great way to prolong the lifespan of food that could be on the turn ~ 3. Storing food in airtight containers ensures it isn’t exposed to excess air which can cause it to oxidise and go off quicker ~ What are your favourite ways to reduce food waste? ~ @jessiemaysnyder See more

What a daya remarkable, inspirational, beautiful day for Terry and for cancer research. Despite missing the spirit and camaraderie of our community Runs, and f...acing a pandemic that has challenged us all, Canadians showed up for Terry with an enthusiasm and resilience that would have made him so proud. Walkers, bikers, hikers, swimmers, paddlers, families, friends, cancer survivors, young, older, newcomers, lifers, fundraisers, donors everyone did their part. It was a reflection of not only the love we have for Terry but our determination to make a difference, just like he did 40 years ago. Canada, you tried your best for Terryand it was magnificent. Fundraising and donating continues at terryfox.org

"Even though I'm not running anymore, we still have to try to find a cure for cancer. Other people should go ahead and try to do their own thing now." When Terr...y asked his best friend Doug Alward to take him to the hospital on September 1st, he never imagined he would not finish his Marathon of Hope. When that realization set in, Terry looked to Canadians to take his dream over that finish line. For the past 39 years, the second Sunday after Labour Day has been our amazing day to commemorate Terry’s effort and support our mission of finding a cure for cancer, in communities big and small. But in 2020, we all have to do our own thing, find our inner try. Whether it’s getting up to run or walk at 4:30am because that was Terry’s favourite time of day, or arranging for your house league teammates to FaceTime your way through a mid-day walk, make a call and make it happen. Whatever it is, it will be enough for Terry. And don’t forget to share your day your way - with us on social media. Tag @terryfoxfoundation and use the hashtag #TryLikeTerry

Here’s a bird’s eye (or Mr. PG’s) view of a popular garden path and accessible riverside trail at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park.

See the photos to preview the gardens and try to spot City gardener Tania from above! Further info on parks and trails in Prince George: http://princegeorge.ca/parks Have a dandy weekend!

This Sunday, September 20th is the 40th Annual Terry Fox Run PG! Since we're not allowed to complete the event together this year, we are asking Prince George r...esidents to run, walk, bike, wheel or stroll the 5km's in a destination of their choice in Prince George! We also just learned that Jim Terrion and David McWalter will be walking 40 laps together at Masich Place Stadium this Sunday. Mr. McWalter will be donating $10.00 to The Terry Fox Foundation for every lap they complete. If you would like to donate to this year's fundraiser, we are encouraging everyone to donate to Jim Terrion's fundraising page, which goes directly to the Terry Fox Foundation. https://bit.ly/JimTerrion

In honour of the very first Terry Fox Run, which took place 39 years ago today, Google is celebrating Terry as their Google Doodle image in Canada, U.S. and man...y other countries around the world. The Doodle, illustrated by Toronto-based artist Lynn Scurfield, replaces the usual Google logo with an image of Terry running in a valley near a lake. #ThanksGoogle for paying tribute not only to Terry but also to the millions of people around the world who have adopted his dream of finding a cure for all cancers as their own. We welcome you to support the 40th Terry Fox Virtual Run on Sunday September 20th by fundraising or donating at terryfox.org

We are proud supporters of the Prince George Terry Fox Run. This years event is virtual - 5k Your Way - and is scheduled for Sunday, September 20th. #cityofpg #terryfox #hypg

Thank you everyone for following our daily posts from Terry's Marathon of Hope journal from 40 years ago. The legacy of Terry Fox is close to the hearts of man...y Canadians. We remember his selflessness, determination and never-give-up attitude - values we admire and cherish. Our goal at the Terry Fox Centre is to ensure those values and his powerful, courageous story are shared with the next generation of Canadians as well as internationally. The Terry Fox Centre oversees thousands of artifacts from Terry's life and the Marathon of Hope and yet they are currently stored in boxes, far from public view. We believe it is imperative to preserve the collection, and develop ways to share this uniquely Canadian story. First, we want to document the expansive collection, then create a virtual museum all Canadians can access; and finally we hope to finalize our discussions around a permanent location for the Terry Fox Centre. We plan to continue to post, perhaps once a week, showing artifacts from the collection as we pursue our work towards a permanent location "for all things Terry". Please keep sharing with your friends and family and you can also sign up to your newsletter on our website for future updates.

Thank you, Prince George Matters, for this article. We always appreciate your support :)
