🌿 Reconnecting with Nature: A Prescription for #WorldHealthDay 🌍

As we celebrate #WorldHealthDay on April 7 with the theme "My health, my right," let's remember our deep connection to the natural world.

In the face of modern challenges like disease, disaster, and climate crisis, it's vital to recognize the link between human health and the health of our planet. Let's honor the wisdom of our ancestors and embrace the sacred bond of wahkohtowin with all living beings. 🌺

Thanks to our sponsors @SaskTel, @SaskPower, and @SaskatoonNatureSociety, the City Nature Challenge is here! 🌳 Join us at the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area and George Genereux Urban Regional Park for an exploration of #wahkohtowin – the Cree concept of kinship and interconnectedness.

Join us from April 26 to 29 as we document the biodiversity of #Saskatoon and its surrounding areas. Whether capturing photos or participating in events, let's celebrate the harmony and balance of nature. 🦋 Together, we'll rediscover the essence of true health and honor our reciprocal obligations to the Earth.

Let's celebrate the health of nature and all its inhabitants, for in doing so, we uphold the spirit of wahkohtowin that unites us all. Join us at #CityNatureChallenge #Saskatoon #CNCYXE2024 led by @FriendsSaskatoonAfforestationAreas. 🌟
