Happy Pollinator Week from FCF! 🐝🦋🦇🐦🐞 Did you know that pollinators like bees, butterflies, & bats provide 1 out of 3 bites of food we eat? Says thanks by planting native plants, supporting farmers, avoiding pesticides, & telling others about the importance of pollinators!

Though we work to raise awareness, acceptance, love, and understanding each and every day, the humans and creatures of FCF wanted to acknowledge April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day. “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” Dr. Seuss

We have to admit that we have been keeping a secret... we are honoured to have been invited to take part in the pilot episode of “Invisible in the Hills” (part of the Stories for Caregivers initiative through the TELUS Fund.) The final product is live on youtube.com/watch?v=QCZ2qfjj….
