So, here are some eco-friendly ways to stay cool this summer: Open your windows at night and after rain, use fans when possible and turn off your lights when they’re not in use. You can keep your vents and doors open to circulate the cool air, dress for the weather, and try to find shade when you can. Small choices like these can make a big impact. Let’s enjoy the summer and protect our planet at the same time. Eco team wishes you a fantastic summer!

Pride Pack - What does the “i” stand for in 2SLGBTQIA? Intersex is a term that describes bodies that fall outside of the strict male/female binary. This happens when a person is born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that does not fit the boxes of “female” or “male.” There are many components that contribute towards our sexual and reproductive system including our physical anatomy, chromosomes, and hormones. Being intersex is a natural variation in humans, and it isn’t a medical problem. There are lots of ways someone can be intersex. About 1-2% of people in North America are intersex. Happy Pride, Wolfpack!

Pride Pack - Did you know that before Europeans colonized Canada, the Indigenous peoples on Turtle Island recognized three to five genders. This included, but was not limited to, men, women, two-spirit men, two-spirit women, and trans people. The words used to describe these individuals were as diverse as the languages spoken across the continent. Even today, Two-Spirit people play an integral role in Indigenous culture, as renowned healers, teachers, and visionaries. Many Indigenous societies support flexible gender roles and identities. What benefits do you experience because of flexible gender roles?
