A Letter from the Executive Director
Have you ever wondered what this beautiful area looked like when the ships maneuvered through the unique islands, we call our Desbarats home, for the first time? Image the unspoiled landscapes, clean water and undisturbed nature. I’m sure it was breathtaking. TKC’s mission is to protect those same landscapes. We know that you want us to protect and preserve this as well. Together, we can do it. We can do it using so many different means. Your support of our mission is our greatest means for success.
One of these wonderfully majestic islands, Coatsworth, stands guard over the Portlock Harbour. The Welles family has supported the protection of this harbour by providing the means for us to protect the west side of Coatsworth Island in perpetuity. What an amazing gift! The protection of Coatsworth means that the west side will remain as she is today for centuries to come. Supporting TKC means just that, protection that will last long into the future.
Your support can work to protect in so many different ways. The saying that we should all be lifelong learners is so true. Education can help to protect the land, waters, and nature by teaching; healthy practices for living around water, eliminating or using less of harmful plastics, using the three r’s in our normal everyday life: recycle, reuse, or refuse. We use your support to encourage and educate those around us to think before doing.
The Foster Parkland and Walking Trails provide opportunity for all to understand what is at stake. The completion of the Boyer Extension added amazing breathtaking vistas. During the year we have seen so many people use our trails to connect with nature. The trail system builds a healthy vibrant community that sees the important value in the work that TKC does. Your support makes it possible for us to build that health and vitality into our community, one hike at a time.
The youth of today are our policy makers and stewards of tomorrow. Teaching the small lessons about animals, habitats and our impacts will never be unlearned. We teach these important lessons within our programming. Whether they are 4 and in our Jr. Explorer program, 10 in our Summer Explorer Camp, or those that come into the Conservation Centre to ask about a bird, everyone has opportunity to learn something new. Your support keeps TKC’s Conservation Centre an important resource for lifelong learning in our community.
All this important work is possible because of you. You help to keep our water clean, our landscape beautiful, and our health strong. Please make a gift this year to keep this momentum going. ALL gifts matter, please give what you can give. EVERY gift makes an important, positive difference.
Warmly,
Tanna Elliott
Executive Director
