The 2nd Annual Earth Day Litter Walk begins at 1 p.m. at Clan Gregor Square in Bay- field. Walkers can check in with organizers at the pavil- ion, where they will choose their own route or area and be given bags to collect garbage and recycling as they walk. Filled bags will be picked up for disposal by the municipal- ity. Last year over 50 volun- teers participated in gathering up litter from streets and pub- lic lands throughout Bayfield. Those wishing to participate should dress for the weather and wear their own work gloves. They can sign up to collect garbage anytime between 1 and 4 p.m. Groups Varna Joan Beierling The Varna Crokinole Club met for their last lime this sea- son. They were served a lovely roast beef dinner by the Bruce - field Community United Church Women. They then fol- lowed with a few games of crokinole which was enjoyed. Members are reminded to keep the Worlds Croknole in Tavis- tock in mind. It will be Saturday June 4 and there are both recre- ational and competitive divi- sions as well as doubles and singles. Players come from all over the world and it makes for an interesting day. You must regis- ter before that day. If interested please call Joan for more info 519 -233-7443. The Club will meet again October 11 and there will be an Ontario Doubles Tournament in Bruce - field Community United Church on October 15 2016. Brucefield Odd Fellows hosted their card party once again with 7 tables in play. High man was John McKenzie, low man Don Brodie, High lady Ruth Pickard and low lady was MaryFotheringham. Most lone and local organizations are also urged to participate, by encouraging their members to come out on Earth Day to clean up the parks and public areas in our community. The last of the melting snow always reveals a disturbing amount of garbage on our highways and byways, but the concerned residents of Bay- field can be applauded for tackling this problem through what is becoming an annual 'spring cleaning' by local volunteers. The second event takes place on the evening of Earth Day. The BRVTA is hosting a special screening of the docu- mentary "This Changes Eve- rything." This game changing and provocative film by Avi Lewis premiered at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival and is based on the critically acclaimed best-seller by award-winning journalist Naomi Klein.

The film, recently aired on CBC, was shot in 9 countries over 4 years, and presents 7 powerful portraits of communities on the front lines of both fossil fuel extraction and the climate crisis it is driving. Going It's here in our community. Please make a difference by volunteering. Multiple Sclerosis 1 4 Societyoi Canada Societe AI 111 canadienne delasclerose 4p en plaques 1-800-268-7582 www.mssociety.ca Ea rA.TE LTD beyond simply exposing and criticizing this looming global crisis, Lewis and Klein pro- pose a call to action for a new future. Their hope is that through communityviewings of the film, the public will become engaged in conversa- tion and dialogue about the crucial issue. The film builds 11 to a controversial and exciting idea: that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into some- thing radically better. Whether you agree with their proposal or not, the film promises to be a thought-provoking and con- troversial conversation -starter for Earth Day. "This Changes Everything" will be screened at St. Andrew's United Church in Bayfield, beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Earth Day, Friday, April 22. Admis- sion is by free will donation, with all proceeds going towards BRVTA re -forestation projects on local trails.
