Meet Stuart Oke: Farming - The Next Generation.


In this video, Stuart talks about his love and respect for the farming profession, his reason for farming, the importance of young farmers, and his hope for the future of farming. "Young people are the future of growing food in this country. Any young person who cares about changing our food system, the way our food is produced, and helping to fight climate change - agriculture and growing food is the best way to do that. Agriculture accounts for a huge percentage of greenhouse gases that we produce and depending on how you grow food, you can either contribute to that or you can help mitigate that. I farm because it is a political expression of a future that I want to see."

Swift Fox all along

Thomas, Rebecca, (Poet),


What does it mean to be Mi'kmaq? And if Swift Fox can't find the answer, will she ever feel like part of her family? When Swift Fox's father picks her up to go visit her aunties, uncles, and cousins, her belly is already full of butterflies. And when he tells her that today is the day that she'll learn how to be Mi'kmaq, the butterflies grow even bigger. Though her father reassures her that Mi'kmaq is who she is from her eyes to her toes, Swift Fox doesn't understand what that means. Her family welcomes her with smiles and hugs, but when it's time to smudge and everyone else knows how, Swift Fox feels even more like she doesn't belong. Then she meets her cousin Sully and realizes that she's not the only one who's unsure--and she may even be the one to teach him something about what being Mi'kmaq means. Based on the author's own experience, with striking illustrations by Maya McKibbin, A Long Way to a New Place is a poignant story about identity and belonging that is at once personal and universally resonant.
