And Please Say a Pray for Victory and Peace for the People of Ukraine
A Brief Message from Niagara At Large reporter and publisher Doug Draper
Posted April 16th, 2022 on Niagara At Large
It may be as warm outside as we would like it to be for the middle of April, but I hope that doesn’t stop any of us from enjoying a nice Easter with some people and/or pets that we love.
This Easter comes five days before the 52 anniversary of the very first Earth Day on April 22nd, 1970 when we can get together with members of our communities and, through planting trees, cleaning up plastic and other waste from shorelines and roadsides, or other earth friendly acts, show our politicians that we demand more than just words out of them when it comes to the fate of our planet.
Starting this coming Monday, April 18th, Niagara At Large will be posting more than the usual number of environmental news and commentary pieces.
At least one of those pieces will include some very welcome news that on this, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the landmark Canada-U.S. Great Lakes Water Quality agreement, that citizens across the Great Lakes basin are organizing a new activist group for these precious water bodies to make up for where too many of our government representatives have let us down.
Celebrating Easter in Ukraine, even in one of the worst of times for these long-struggling people.
We will also do what we can to let you know about Earth Day gatherings that you can attend in Niagara.
In the meantime, have a peaceful Easter and pray that the butchery that Russia’s monster Putin is committing against the people of Ukraine will end with a victory for their struggle for freedom and democracy, and a sentence of life in prison for the butcher.

Happy Easter. Doug Draper, Niagara At Large
