Very happy to have the new Canarm HLW installed.
(Old tank was so rotten it pretty much clapsed into itself when we removed it).
Still have to seal the bottom of the new tank, as concrete was very uneven, so shims were needed to level. Grateful for the landowners handy work 馃檪

Here's a twist on Canadian legend @Alanis's "Ironic" (who was fab when one of us saw her live last month) - in an acoustic version that addresses Trump's #tradewar with Canada and his attempted renaming of Lake Ontario. It's called "Moronic" 馃幎 - lyrics: youtu.be/Y6OGKFQBG7s

It's International Owl Awareness Day!
Burrowing owls are tiny grassland specialists that nest in abandoned ground squirrel and badger burrows鈥攖hey don't dig their own! Endangered in #Alberta, they rely on native rangelands, making ranchers key partners in their conservation.

Alberta's only native lizard is the short-horned lizard and it's Endangered. Tiny live-born young arrive in late July. We're searching for them this August. Stay tuned! #SpeciesAtRisk #grasslands #alberta

DYK that a DWSP Road Sign in your neighbourhood means you live in an area where the drinking water supply is vulnerable to contamination. Check your local Source Protection Plan and take action to protect our water.
