The Active Hope Group at First United Church
holds meetings monthly to support each other
in engaging in environmental and social justice actions
within our own lives and within the larger community,
both as individuals and as a group.

Our goal is to work together to keep making gradual and
do-able shifts toward a life-sustaining society.
If this sparks your curiosity, please join us.

Please see below for a few web pages,
we have selected that provide practical tips
about gardening in Saskatchewan and may give you some ideas!
