GATINEAU, QC, April 15, 2021 /CNW/ - The Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum were greatly saddened to learn of the passing of Canadian entrepreneur and patron of the arts, W. Galen Weston.
In 2017, as Chairman of The W. Garfield Weston Foundation, W. Galen Weston and his family generously donated $2 million to support the successful completion of the Canadian Museum of History s signature exhibition, the
Canadian History Hall. The Hall opened to the public on July 1, 2017 the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
In recognition of this important contribution, Gallery 3 of the Hall was named
Amadeus
Garfield Weston Foundation has provided major grants for arts organisations across the UK.
Recipients included the National Theatre, Ballet Black, Paraorchestra, Lakeland Arts, Northern Ballet and the NoFit State Circus, with grants ranging from £100,000 up to £1.5m based on the size of the organisation.
Garfield Weston Foundation s director, Philippa Charles said: Our cultural sector is at the heart of our local communities providing not only entertainment but education and inspiration for many. Our Trustees were impressed by the entrepreneurial spirit shown across the arts in response to Covid-19 and it was a privilege to hear what organisations had been doing to not only survive but also to reinvent the way they reach audiences. What really stood out was the level of collaboration and support they had for each other and the determination to keep going, despite the increasingly difficult situation.
What Does it Take for a Strong Immune System?
“We should be rolling in the dirt, gardening, wrestling with some brambles and skinning animals for supper. These are important immune system builders.” – Joel Salatin, author, organic and sustainable farmer of Polyface Farms, Virginia, USA
A strong immune system is not achieved through a syringe, pill, miracle plant or supplement. Nor does it come from the use of antibacterial soaps and the creation of a sterile environment without “microbes”. In fact, considering the poor health of many people in modern society, we can say that immunity can no longer be obtained exclusively from a healthy diet and a few natural remedies. It’s not enough anymore. The epidemic of allergies, obesity, gastrointestinal problems, chronic infections, malabsorption and many others have a direct connection to an immune system that has suffered profound dysfunctions.
