"Iomblc Tool Blessing"
In January we explored how the world calls to us to transform grief, fear, and anger into agency, and the many tasks one can take up through the seasons of our lives to make our mark on the world and build a beloved community. For our tool blessing, we invite you to bring the “tools” of your life and your work for the good of the world, whether you are organizers and builders, story-tellers and communicators, healers and guides, or artists and creators, or all of the above! In this service we will celebrate the ‘bless’ these tools, recharging and rejuvenating the tools and ourselves for the work of the coming year.
For this high-energy ritual the tools you bring could be anything you use to make your mark on the world, and do your work (paid or not). We recommend choosing tools that are relatively small and portable, or a smaller object to represent a larger tool that you can’t bring with you.
Examples of tools include: pens, notebooks, musical instruments, a laptop, sewing tools, protest signs, paintbrushes, construction or power tools, books, sports equipment, a chalice or other spiritual tools, keys to a vehicle or piece of machinery, cleaning tools, spreadsheets, backpacks, activity sets (like Spirit Play boxes or fidget toys), seeds and gardening tools, lesson plans, petri dishes, tarot cards, workshop materials, cooking tools, mobility aids, safety gear, theatre costumes or props… anything you consider the tools of your life

Next Sunday Gathering
"Joined By Song"
with Lindsay Hindle
March 2 @ 11:00pm
Molly Nye House, 940 Lynn Valley Road, North Vancouver
Come feel more alive, more at peace, and joyfully bonded as we gather to be Joined By Song on Sunday March 2. Together we will create an energizing, safe and sacred space to sing inspiring songs and healing chants. Did you know singing releases oxytocin, endorphins and lowers cortisol? The perfect remedy for troubled times. No matter if you’re a seasoned singer or someone just beginning, all are welcome to come find freedom in their voice and expression. Lindsay will be teaching easy songs to learn and tracks to sing along to. Feel free to bring a frame drum, rattle or a friend!
Hope to see lots of folks there!

CAPE is urging North Vancouver residents to take 5 minutes to call or write Minister Wilkinson’s office to urge him to support swift passage of the oil and gas methane regulations. The new methane regulations will only be passed before the dissolution if cabinet prioritizes them, and Minister Wilkinson’s voice as Energy and Natural Resources Minister could make the difference between strong new rules for methane, or no new rules at all.
- Tackling methane is a critically important piece of an effective climate plan; while it is a shorter-lived pollutant than carbon dioxide, methane has much greater potential to trap heat, trapping 84 to 87 times more heat than CO2over a 20-year period. [1]
- The new oil and gas methane regulations are important largely because of their ambitious targets. They improve on the federal government’s initial oil and gas methane reduction targets of 40-45% below 2012 levels by 2025, with a new target of at least 75% below 2012 levels by 2030. [2]
- The new regulations will not only tackle oil and gas methane pollution, but many other co-pollutants associated with oil and gas operations.
Minister Wilkinson’s email address is jonathan.wilkinson@parl.gc.ca and his constituency office phone number is 604-775-6333.
And no matter where you live, CAPE encourages us to put pressure on the federal government to secure a strong oil and gas emissions cap:
