PCSBV is a community-focused charity that helps improve the experience for individuals in the Bow Valley as they navigate the palliative care journey following the diagnosis of a life limiting illness. This project will connect with different parties involved in this journey – including people with a life limiting diagnosis, their care givers and support network, health care providers and medical professionals, and other non-profits – to determine what is already in place, where there are gaps, overlap and potential for partnership. The findings will be shared with the broader community to improve understanding, aid navigation and identify future programs and services for PCSBV and others as well as collaboration and partnerships.

The Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area wishes to restore its beehives so that it is able to provide honey to its volunteers as a way of thanking them for helping fulfil its mandate. It also hopes to produce enough additional honey to sell to help off-set the cost of honey production. Based on past experience, it is likely that total production will amount to approximately 200 kilograms of honey. The pollination the bees provides also helps to maintain the spectacular wildflowers found on the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area. The new fencing has been designed to protect the beehives for many years to come.
