Food prices have been on everybody’s mind.
Les Verts Living is a new Canadian business.
This is a part of their message:
A head of lettuce flown into a remote northern community can cost $10 or more. A fresher, more nutritious head of lettuce grown locally with the Terrace Pro Community Harvest System costs $1.25 or less in input costs.
That’s not a rounding error. That’s a completely different relationship with food.
The Community Harvest System grows 60 heads of fresh lettuce (or other crops) every week using a room your community already has, powered by a standard electrical outlet, operated by anyone on your team in under 2 hours a week. No new infrastructure, no permitting, no technical expertise.
Could an unused room in your school, organization, or community become part of your food security strategy?
Empowering anyone anywhere to grow fresh, quality food for their family, friends and local communities with the Les Verts Terrace indoor hydroponic garden system.

Behind every mask is a life changed. Celebrate 45 years of impact at the Lions Foundation Masquerade Mystique Gala.
For forty-five years, the Lions Foundation of Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario has been a beacon of hope during life's most challenging moments, embodying unwavering steadiness, expert skill, and profound compassion. Our tireless efforts have restored dignity and sparked hope, truly transforming lives in our communities.
To honour this remarkable legacy, we warmly invite you to join us for a captivating evening: our 45th Anniversary Gala at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Embracing the elegance of black and white and the enchanting allure of Masquerade Mystique, the event promises to be a beautiful blend of celebration and purpose, featuring music, storytelling, and poignant moments that remind us of the vital importance of why we serve.
Behind every mask lies a unique story: that of a donor, volunteer, or supporter whose quiet courage enables meaningful change. This gala stands as a tribute to those unseen heroes who give selflessly, lifting others toward brighter, more hopeful futures. Your presence will celebrate what's been done—and power what's next.
