As we continue to embark on the new year, we want to take a moment to pause and reflect on the incredible support that has been the heartbeat of Nature Canada’s mission. Your unwavering dedication to protecting and restoring the natural world has fueled our journey, inspiring every initiative and every effort we undertake.
Looking ahead, we are filled with hope and endless possibilities. A new year brings forth resilience and opportunity—transformative moments that challenge us to adapt, whether the changes are anticipated or unforeseen. Together, we have already achieved remarkable milestones, and now we stand ready to embrace the challenges that lie ahead with courage and unity.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude for the patience shown by so many during the Canada Post strike, and for those who found innovative ways to contribute during uncertain times. Whether you’ve been a steadfast supporter for years or are just beginning your journey with Nature Canada, please know that your kindness and your support—no matter how big or small—has made a profound impact. Your commitment, your voice, your actions—they resonate deeply.
There are many ways we can all stay involved and make a real difference. Whether it’s donating, volunteering, advocating for nature, participating in upcoming events, or simply sharing the message of protecting and restoring with others, every contribution counts. By working together, we’re helping to create a future where nature can thrive. As Theodore Roethke says, “Over every mountain, there is a path, although it might not be seen from the valley.”
As we continue this journey together, let us be reminded of the immense power of collective ambition and action. With hope and determination as our compass, we can press forward, united in our love for nature and our shared vision for a brighter tomorrow for nature and wildlife.
Thank you for being an integral part of this community. Let’s make the 2025 year filled with even greater progress, hope, and positive transformation for the natural world in Canada.
With deepest gratitude,
Effie Vaicoussis
Manager, Women for Nature & Major Gifts
