<div style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -web --001a11459a40fc1f8905227a2e69 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi everyone, Sorry for the last minute notice, but unfortunately the speaker for tonight's scheduled talk at the Blomidon Naturalists Society/Valley Gardeners joint meeting (Backyard & Neighbourhood Sanctuaries: gardening for the little things that run the world) has fallen ill and won't be able to present this evening. Rather than cancel the meeting, we'll be hosting a panel discussion on the same topic with local experts. While it's going to different from what was originally planned, it should still an fascinating evening/discussion. Same time, same place (Beveridge Arts Centre, BAC 244, Acadia University 730PM). Hope to see you there!
