The Long Point area, comprising 26,250 hectares, was designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in April, 1986, the third to be named in Canada and one of 15 biosphere reserves found in this country today. It provides an example of the Great Lakes coastal ecosystem and a unique blend of habitats. Its delicate dunes and marshes teem with songbirds, spawning fish, turtles and frogs. The Long Point World Biosphere Reserve Foundation promotes research, monitoring, community outreach and education, partnerships, and projects that support the goals of biodiversity, conservation and sustainable communities in the Long Point World Biosphere Reserve. We exchange information and work collaboratively with the Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association and other biosphere reserves in Canada and internationally. Our UNESCO/MAB Biosphere Reserve designation does not bring with it any new authorities over lands, water or resources.

Harvest Project is a community-based urban relief organization that "extends a hand up, not a hand out" to those in need on Vancouver's North Shore. We touch more than 1,000 people each month - hosting one-on-one client-care coaching appointments, emergency drop-in visits, our grocery service and Clothes for Change thrift shop. For over 20 years, Harvest Project has reached out to individuals and families from Deep Cove to Horseshoe Bay to help them cope with difficult life circumstances such as family break-ups, illness, job loss, addictions and mental health issues. Our goal is to nurture the potential of every client and coach them towards a more positive future. Harvest Project was founded on the core elements of dignity, respect and accountability. The heart of our mission is the Christian responsibility to love our neighbours and care for those experiencing loss or who are in need.
