“MapleCross has
recently collaborated
with the Nature
Conservancy of
Canada (NCC) to help
protect an environmentally
sensitive
island in Lake Huron.
We are extremely
pleased to continue
our support toward
acquiring and
conserving other
ecologically
significant properties
on the Great Lakes.
We hope to inspire
individuals and
communities to
invest in nature and
join us in partnership
with NCC toward
retaining the unique
and important
biodiversity of Lake
Ontario, as well.”

“It has been a
pleasure working
with NCC to
consolidate an
important
ecological corridor
linking the Ottawa
Valley to Mont-
Tremblant
National Park,
in Quebec. We
donated our
685-hectare
(1,692-acre)
property because
we felt that such
a unique forest
habitat needed
to be protected
for future
generations.
Our donation has
provided us with
a sense of timeless
purpose.’’

The Landmark Campaign is accelerating conservation across Canada. With
your help, we are protecting 500 conservation projects from coast to coast
to coast. This includes large-scale, signature land and water conservation
projects, such as the Jim Prentice Wildlife Corridor in Alberta, Shaw Wilderness
Park in Nova Scotia and Kenauk Wildlife Corridor in Quebec. Large, intact natural
areas are home to some of Canada’s most endangered wildlife. These spaces are key
to our quality of life. We’re happy to share what these conservation projects mean
to donors like you. We are grateful to all of our donors for helping to make these
conservation projects a reality.
“Preserving a place
like Musquash, in
New Brunswick,
will set an example
for future generations.
We are now
demonstrating
that this can be
done, and it is
important work
for the future.”

“Although I currently live in Alberta, the South Shore of Nova
Scotia holds a special place in my heart. I have fond memories
of my grandfather’s cabin in Port Joli when I was a young boy.
It was a privilege to explore the unique landscape and habitat.
Supporting NCC’s work in that area will ensure future generations
can have similar memories.“

“My husband, Mel, dedicated his
entire life to his family, his business
and the people of Souris. Mel and
I were fortunate to raise seven
children in Souris. Our family is
very pleased to have donated
this beautiful forest and wetland
to NCC, in Mel’s memory.”
