It’s Week 4 of Circular Economy Month!

This week’s focus is on Strengthening Community, highlighting the ways in which a circular economy can help to bring communities closer together.

By coming together to share skills and resources, we can build relationships that make our communities safer, friendlier, and more inclusive while also reducing waste and common economic stressors.

You may already have organizations that run these kinds of community-based initiatives in your own community! Food Donation Programs, Repair Cafes, and Swap Events are all common initiatives that bring people together in an effort to strengthen community bonds and protect the environment.

It’s Week 3 of Circular Economy Month!

This week’s focus is on Waste Reduction, taking a look at how we can reduce waste in our own lives, and on an industrial scale.

In resource-intensive industries like construction, a greater focus on the recycling and reuse of materials like steel, drywall, and concrete aggregates could have significant positive impacts for the environment.

In our own lives, we can help keep waste out of landfills by repairing and reusing everyday objects. Repair Cafes, Tool Libraries, and Makerspaces are all great resources to develop the skills and knowledge to repair things on your own while also making connections in your community!

It’s week 2 of Circular Economy Month!

Week 2's theme is “Building Economic Resilience”.

This week focuses on the transition to a circular economy and how it allows societies to move towards a more sustainable and equitable future, asking us to learn about the social and economic opportunities and benefits that circular business models can bring about.

Community-based initiatives, such as repair cafes, swap events, food donation programs, refilleries, and reuse programs are all great examples of what a circular economy can look like in action; strengthening community bonds, building trust, and empowering people to engage in a circular lifestyle.

October 11th is the International Day of the Girl Child.

Today is a day to celebrate the voices and achievements of girls, to champion their rights internationally, and to reflect on the ongoing challenges imposed on them because of their gender.

It is important that we work together to champion the rights of girls to enjoy their childhood, access education, make their own decisions, and live life with safety and dignity.

The theme for International Day of the Girl Child 2026 is “End child marriage and invest in girls’ rights!”, which was developed by the UN in partnership with girls, girls’ organizations, and girl-led networks, as well as civil society organizations and UN partners.

To learn more about the International Day of the Girl Child, gender equality, or some of the work being done to protect the rights of girls across the globe, links to resources can be found in our Linktree at https://linktr.ee/prairiewildco.

October 10th is World Mental Health Day, a time for meaningful and respectful engagement with people with living and lived experience of mental health conditions.

This year, the World Federation of Mental Health’s (WFMH) World Mental Health Day campaign calls for the voices of people with living and lived experience to shape the policies, services, and decisions that affect their lives.

It is important that we acknowledge the knowledge and expertise that come with lived experiences. When engaging with people with living and lived experiences, it is important to be mindful that they are listened to respectfully, include in decision making processes, and compensated fairly for their involvement.

This year’s theme is also in support of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) initiative for deinstitutionalization, making a focused shift away from long-stay psychiatric institutions towards community-based, person-centered mental health care, as advocated for by people with living and lived experience of mental health conditions.

October is Women’s History Month!

Women’s History Month is a time to highlight the many amazing achievements of the women and girls who have shaped, and continue to shape, Canada and the lives of Canadians.

By celebrating these achievements of women and girls and acknowledging the challenges they overcame, we hope to inspire the next generation of women to pursue their passions and stand up for what they know is right.

To learn more about Women’s Rights in Canada, and the women who have helped to shape the place we call home, visit our Linktree at https://linktr.ee/prairiewildco.

Featured in this post, clockwise from left to right, are:
- Mary Two-Axe Earley, Mohawk and Oneida women’s rights activist who advocated for Indigenous women who lost their status due to marrying a non-status man, leading to the passing of Bill C-31 in 1985, the restoration of her own status, and the status of thousands of other Indigenous women across Canada.

- Viola Irene Desmond, an entrepreneur, community leader, and civil rights activist who’s brave refusal to leave the Whites-only section of the Roseland Theatre would inspire generations of civil rights activists in Canada.

- Madeleine Parent, a labour, women’s, immigrant, and Indigenous rights activist who was pivotal in the formation of the Canadian Textile & Chemical Union and the Confederation of Canadian Unions, as well as the establishment of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women.

- Ga’axstal’as (Jane Constance Cook), a First Nations leader and activist who spoke out against injustice, advocated for Indigenous rights, and fought against racism within health services systems. Ga’axstal’as’ work has left a lasting impact on Canada to this day, inspiring generations of powerful voices for equality.
