• Notes

  Atribute to a local environmentalist and well-known Southwood Secondary School teacher has been taken from the rare Charitable Research Reserve, near Blair. When Tim Walker died in 2006 of a congenital heart defect, his family and friends created a permanent memorial to him at rare, where he had played as a child and helped to establish an environmental educational program as an adult. Along with donations in his name to the charitable research reserve, they established the Tim Walker Memorial Award for environmental stewardship for high schools students, planted a Bur Oak and located a park bench and plaque in a prominent location. Now, the bench, which had been painted by Walker's mother, and its plaque have been taken. "Is nothing sacred anymore?" said rare executive director Patti Leather in a statement. "There is a lot of meaning in that bench for the community. It was hand-built to honour Tim and many people have stopped to rest and admire the native trees and Tim's contribution to saving this land for us all. "We'd be happy to have it back - no questions asked. And, of course, if that doesn't happen, we'll find a way to replace and secure it."
