Member-funded Societies

Under the Societies Act there are two kinds of societies: ordinary societies and member-funded societies. Member-funded societies exist primarily for the benefit of their members and have the following statement in their constitution: This society is a member-funded society. It is funded primarily by its members to carry on activities for the benefit of its members. On its liquidation or dissolution, this society may distribute its money and other property to its members. Compare the Two Kinds of Societies A member-funded society may, on its winding up, distribute its money and other property to its members, and is subject to fewer accountability measures than an ordinary society.

Image
想每天吃到自家后院产的新鲜鸡蛋吗?不要以为有了自己的住房,就可以在后院儿饲养任何动物,比如家禽。加拿大各地政府对养鸡有着特别的规定,而且这些法律不只在城市有(尽管1980年代以来后院养鸡在多伦多成为了争议话题),一些农村地区也有限制。加拿大景观设计师兼户外事务专家Carson Arthur往来加拿大各地讲解后院养鸡问题,他建议房主们先从了解关于鸡作为后院宠物的地方性法律开始。

Victoria Style_Arched Bridge

The Design This bridge construction project involved the construction of an arched bridge that allows visitors to cross a lake feeder stream on a historic estate. The entire bridge is built in oak and is 42 feet (13 metres) long. The bridge itself was designed to be a replica of the original bridge which had rotted heavily and needed to be replaced. The original bridge, which had become unsafe to use, is pictured below and demonstrates the attention to detail we paid in ensuring that the new bridge would look just the same.

Installing a boardwalk across our wetland

Image
Everything finally gelled and with the help of a lot of great volunteers we were finally able to install the boardwalk across a section of our wetland. There is now dry access from the edge of the Crane Prairie to the edge of the creek. It is also possible to walk along the edge of the creek for quite a ways. Mostly this route is across areas that were burned in the Fish & Wildlife Service burn of April 27.

恐怖的植物-Japanese Knotweed

Image
刚看到这则新闻的标题时,小编和你现在的想法是一样的,这是什么鬼?一株草?能逼人自杀? 能令房价暴跌?这可能又是一篇标题党式的文章,但是,当小编怀着半信半疑的态度看完报道的时候,小编真的震 惊了,这世界上竟然还有这样一种植物,真的很可怕!我们先来看看图片,就是这样一株看起来婀娜多姿,开出的 小白花也相当美丽的植物,它叫日本虎杖,英文名字叫做Japanese Knotweed。 日本虎杖一度被视作观赏植物,世界各国纷纷将其引进自己的国家,然而他们都没料到,这外 表人畜无害的“小可爱”,会带来一场灾难。英国是最早从日本引进这种植物的国家之一,英国 的园艺爱好者于19世纪中期将一株日本虎杖引入英国,随后发现其生命力极强,只要它在一块 空地,一个花园或者居民后院生根,只需要一个月的时间就可以长到1米多高,假以时日, 日本虎杖最终可以长到3米高,再加上其枝繁叶茂,看上去就像是一道无法穿越的绿色“铁丝网”!

Kingsford Retreat 2019

Image
2019年2月16-18 出发 :星期六讲完道以后,安排会友看大卫 - 鲍森的新约纵览,然后把粤语会众留下的桌椅都搬到库房。本来以为可以走了。却又发现厨房的几个锅还没有洗。于是,把里面的菜盛出来,放入冰箱,又把锅洗干净。这才驾车赶去 KingsFold retreat 。半路又弯去了一个会众的家里,因为她返回中国,需要帮她拿信和浇花。弄完了。已经是下午 3 点 40 分了。因为 KingsFold 规定 5 点钟开饭 sharply 。 又是雪路驾车。有些紧张。还好,神保守提前 10 分钟赶到了 Kings Fold 。 感谢主! 历史 : King's Fold Retreat and Renewal Centre 是一個小小的寶石,坐落在加拿大落基山脈的山腳下,距離卡爾加里西北約一小時車程。雖然大多數客人來自艾伯塔省,但自 1978 年開業以來,該中心一直歡迎來自世界各地的人們來到這裡進行團體灵修和個人灵修。( 长周末一般都留给个人灵修 ) King's Fold 的起源可以追溯到七十年代,當時“退休”的概念對於天主教傳統以外的眾多信徒來說是新的。 來自各教會的一小群基督徒溫柔而虔誠地實現了一個非機構式的熱情好客中心的夢想,擁有一個家庭式的氛圍,這是一个上帝的子民的休息,更新和灵命培育的地方。

Vision of Retreat Centre

It's been a dream since I was in Israel during 1997-1999. Actually, it was before I went to Israel when I was doing the research of this country. I found they have kibbutz. People live in the house that kibbutz supplied, and eat and work together. Kibbutz supplies everything people need, even including twice vacation per year. One time is oversea vacation; another time in demonic. That living style was we dreamed in China , it was called communist society. but failed to achieve it. I was very interested to it. How does Israel can make it successful? When I visited a Kibbutz, I show senior couple sitting on the sofa, and playing games together. That's so lovely picture. And I visited another kibbutz. That is a vegetable seeds kibbutz. They got soil from all over the world, and simulate their climate in their greenhouse. And breed high productive cheery tomato seeds, water melon seeds, and sale to every country. (will continue)
