More pictres are up on Flickr. This time featuring: ALBERTA!!!

Enjoy folks!

This one here is from the West Edmonton Mall. Or as the locals like to call it, “West Ed”

So I was looking at some pictures today and thought, “Man! We should be sharing these with others.”

And so, here is installment #1 of what will be a large number of photos coming your way. . . and by ‘here’ I mean by clicking on our link to our flickr photo account over this way ———————————————————->

I started with British Columbia, and we shall work our way across the country via photos.  Enjoy!

Two members of the fabulous trio known as the PANTS Project recently had a very exciting night in Port Stanley thanks to the local Girl Guides!  There was fun, games, socializing, group activities and yes, you guessed it, the promotion of positive change.  We can’t help it, it’s what we do.

So THANK YOU to the Port Stanley Girl Guides and especially Donna Morgan for having us over and letting us tell you all about our trip and what a worthwhile effort effecting a little change in your community can be (and for posing in a group picture!).   We had an absolutely smashing time.

HEY ALL!

Hello folks!

Just wanted to give a quick “Happy belated holiday fun! Hope it was great and have a wonderous New Years!!!”

Also, to explain the picture: I picked it because where I was on Christmas it was RAINING!! Crazy. But it is snowing now. Thank goodness.

Until next year….

PANTS!

Bonjourno!

Not only is it almost a new year, it’s almost a new decade! It is slightly crazy and is making me think, “what the heck am I going to do, learn, and experience in the next 10 years? … Or the next year, for that matter”.

And so on that note, we have a few questions that we would love to get get you input on:

What exciting things are you looking forward to in the next 10 years?

Not looking forward to?

What to you want to accomplish in the next decade?

You can answer as a comment to this post OR email us and we’ll post it!

PANTS love ‘09!!

Ladies and gents I’m proud to present the fruits of our (summer) labour. The shirts that were widely available and ever so popular at our launch party in September are showcased in this post!

There are several styles available; the one appearing the picture below is the “Bubbly Word” edition. Very cute and great indeed! Shown in a tank top style and t-shirt. There are lots of others available in styles and sizes to please everyone.

They are all PANTS worthy and extra special, so pick one out for yourself or someone who also fits the description above!

Good Afternoon my Chums and Pals!

We are going over all our footage right now, and WOW! There’s a lot! and I can’t wait until you all get to see it!

So last weekend we were in Hamilton at the Millennium Scholarship Foundation conference for Southwestern Ontario laureates, talking to attendees about The PANTS Project, Community, and Change. It was so amazing to see so many outstanding youth who chose to spend their weekend learning, networking, and talking part in workshops related to ‘change’. We met a lot of wonderful people and amazing youth who organized and ran the entire weekend event! The amount of hard work put into the weekend really showed! A special thanks to Caitlin for inviting us!

Speaking of being hard at work…. here’s a picture of the “hard at work” wind power station at North Point, PEI:

Sorry for that very bad change of topic… I just really wanted to show you those.

That’s all for now. We have some pretty cool stuff in mind for the blog, so keep checking in! Also if there is anything you would like to see or hear about let us know! You can comment at the end of this post or email us at thepantsproject@gmail.com

later!

After 46 Days of driving, sleeping in a tent, living of crackers, peanut butter, and apples, and just a bit more driving we have returned home! Home to warm beds… families… cooked vegetables… being able to sleep in (a bit)…

We cannot begin to express what a crazy-great time we had. There is so much to show and tell! If you’ve followed our blog, you know a bit about our adventures (if not, get on the bandwagon and read the posts below). A great BIG thank you again to everyone who helped us along the way and to everyone who has kept in touch and supported us through reading our blog and spreading the word. BUT WE’RE NOT DONE YET!!!!!

Our adventure was the first step towards what we hope to accomplish. Our filming is done (for the most part) and now it is time to make something of all we have seen. Our first move will be to look through the footage we’ve lovingly collected over the last couple of months and hopefully use some of it in the workshop we’re planning for a Millennium Scholarship Regional Conference going on in Hamilton this weekend, November 6th-8th.

Many updates and even some video clips will be made available as we continue to edit and plan out the film over the winter months. So please continue to check up on and not forget about us chums, as we want to keep you all informed and excited about our project!

Thank you all encore,
(and a welcome home PANTS to us!)

Also here’s a few pictures to keep PANTS alive…

The PowerShift conference about climate change and making a difference in Ottawa over the weekend was AMAZING! Youth from every part of Canada came to show their support! On the 24th we attended the “Fill the Hill” event at Parliament Hill as part of the International Day of Climate Action . The event demonstrated the power held by youth committed to action, putting faces (and bodies!) to the growing green movement in Canada.
We had the opportunity to talk to and learn from and inspiring cast of folks attending and running the event. It was simply awe-inspiring to see how much an idea by just 1 or 2 people can grow into a nation-wide gathering of ~2500.
There are some great youtube video of the event… we will post a few for you soon!

So now we are back on our home turf, the Toronto area, and about to do the last interview on our trip today!!! We are literally two adorable balls of emotion to be so near the end of this spectacular adventure.

PANTS!
