Camp Long for the past 17 years, has died. Sheila was responsible for initiating the partnership with 4H that resulted in the building of the Challenge course at Camp Long. She was active in race and social justice issues at the City, and committed to getting kids of all backgrounds to appreciate and experience the natural world. She helped create the
Leaders in Environment, Equity, and Facilitation (LEEF) program for developing BIPOC youth leadership in environmental education. The program has recently been expanded so that youth leaders will be employed to lead environmental programming for the Parks Department.

Last year virtually every major and minor official event was cancelled over fears of the pandemic. This meant all fairs, parades, exhibitions, sporting events, concerts etc., were all cancelled.
Now, a year later with vaccinations well underway and ramping up significantly across the country, there are hopes that life, and such events can begin at least slowly this year.
Alas many of the country’s major events have had to cancel again.
One of the largest and most historic events on the west coast has announced that in spite of that, it won’t be held again this year. This is even though the 15-day event signals the end of summer in the last week of August and into September.
