In March, during engagements at the First Ontario Performing Arts Centre, NPCA CAO Leilani Lee-Yates and NPCF Chair Brett Harrington presented David Suzuki with a Comfort Maple pen. Symbolic of Niagara’s natural heritage and the significance of stewardship, the limited-edition gold-tone pen celebrates Dr. Suzuki’s 90th birthday and his decades of environmental activism.

Celebrating 10 Years of Comfort Maple Pens

A Tribute to Heritage and Stewardship

In 2025, we celebrated the contributions of Pelham woodturner Marv Ens, marking 10 years of beautifully crafted pens from wood pruned in the care of the iconic Comfort Maple.

Think Local, Act Local

At an event in St. Catharines in March 2026, Dr. David Suzuki, renowned scientist and environmental activist, said the time has come for us to adapt to climate change… to work together within our communities … to Think Local, Act Local.
