The FAITH Project stands for
Further
Advancements in Tree Habitats. It was started by Faith Gibson, a local
11 year old girl with a passion for the environment.
On May 16th,
Rebecca was on hand with Mike Schreiner at Jack Wilson Park in Whitby to
plant 300 trees.

On Sunday March
28th I had the pleasure of helping Faith Gibson, a very special 11-year
old girl who is raising money to plant trees in Whitby this summer. The
FAITH Project actually stands for Further
Advancements in Tree Habitats.
Faith's
passion for environmental protection has proven to be contagious, it is
because of her that her family has seen the importance of incorporating
ecology into government.
Faith has received
a grant to help her in her crusade to improve her local environment.
I would like to personally thank Faith, her family and all her
supporters for their hard work and dedication. I look forward to
helping plant the trees this summer!
