Gary who has been a Conservation Coordinator and Indigenous Outreach Coordinator with EALT since 2024 shared his perspective on connecting to the land, land stewardship, and EALT’s conservation work.
“The values that EALT walks with are rooted in Protecting, Respecting and Connecting. These values are interconnected. ‘It’s about reciprocal relationships…and how we get people and communities involved in that healing,’ shared Gary Elaschuk Pruden, Conservation Coordinator and Kikino Metis Settlement community member. The values tie into the work that he brings into understanding reciprocal relationships with both humans and nature.”
