It’s true!<br> <br> Want to see how we do it? The Waterloo Hen Association is hosting a Chicken Coop Tour to raise awareness about the reality of backyard chickens. This is your chance to visit with actual urban chicken keepers and learn about coops, chicken varieties, and the joys of garden fresh eggs. This is a free, self-guided, mapped tour through Waterloo neighbourhoods that will take you to several different styles of coop: from a simple “Chicken Tractor” to elaborate Multi-room designs. You can visit one coop, or you can visit them all.</span></div> <div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"> </div> <div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The tour runs on:</span></div> <div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><b>Saturday, June 19th</b> from <b>10am to 2pm</b>.</span></div> <div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">On the day of the tour, pick up your map at the Waterloo Public Square, at the corner of King St. and Willis Way.

In doing so, we also need to break our addiction to fossil fuels and overcome the poverty and inequalities that plague our society.<br> <br> In short, we need to build a green economy that transforms the mode of production and consumption in our society, makes existing jobs more environmentally sustainable and simultaneously creates new decent paying, full time, safe and healthy green jobs in all sectors of society, to address the pressing economic and social inequalities of our time.<br> <br> This transition is already underway with the surge in renewable energy production, fuel-efficient car manufacturing and other green sectors. Many countries around the world, including China and the United States have taken significant steps and investments to developing their green economies. The question to ask yourself is: How well will Canada measure up in this new economic frontier?</div> </div> <!--YMLPUF--><div align="center" style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;font-family:Verdana;font-size:8pt;color:#000000;"><hr noshade="" color="#000000" width="50%" size="1"> <br> <a href="http://ymlp90.com/m/" style="color:#000000;">Powered by YMLP</a> </div><!--YMLPUFE--> <img alt=" " height="1" src="http://t.ymlp90.com/zueurceehbimmez/footer.gif" width="1" border="0"> </div> </blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
