Eco-Journal, v.17.5 Nov/Dec 2007
Dear Members and supporters of CROW (Concerned Residents Of Winnipeg),
The Directors of CROW Inc. (a grass roots anti-pesticide initiative) have voted to dissolve this not-for-profit corporation. Our former Executive Director Glenda Whiteman advises that she is maintaining her dedication to the movement to protect human and ecosystem health by eliminating pesticides. Glenda is continuing to use the brand ‘CROW!´ (not ‘CROW Inc.´) and for the time being the existing website address will remain unchanged (http://www.crowinc.org). We, the remaining former Directors of CROW Inc., wish her success.
Winnipeg´s media coverage of pesticide use has changed in recent years to acknowledge some of the consequences and risks of pesticide exposure. We certainly have a long way to go, but we also celebrate some real progress. CROW Inc. has played an important role in facilitating that transition, raising consciousness, awareness, and support for a world less poisoned.
We thank Glenda, Sheila Pizey-Allen, and the many volunteers who have worked on various events and projects with CROW Inc. Further, we recognize that all of CROW´s work has been built on the efforts of many other individuals and groups throughout the years of this continuing struggle. Our thanks to everyone who supported and participated in CROW Inc.
Sincerely,
Shayne Robinson, Dan Moroz, Robin Faye, and Dave Nickarz
