Blueberry Patches Abound with Blooms

As the best part of the growing season approaches, the local blueberry patches are looking spectacular, hinting at a great harvest.
Terri Bell Jun 1, 2025
No fertilizers needed here! Our blueberry patches are bursting with these gorgeous blooms, signaling a healthy and natural growing season.

A Promising Start to the Season

As the best part of the growing season approaches, the local blueberry patches are looking spectacular, hinting at a great harvest. The bushes are covered in thousands of pretty, bell-shaped blueberry flowers, making a lovely sight and suggesting a really good crop is on the way.

It’s really satisfying to see so many flowers without using any fertilizers. We’re fortunate our blueberry plants are growing naturally, showing how strong they are and how good the conditions are. The current growth is a source of excitement, especially because the patches are growing without any help from fertilizers.

All these early flowers suggest we’ll have lots of blueberries later in the summer. Everyone is feeling hopeful and excited about a tasty, naturally grown blueberry season.

Our formal submission to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) regarding the NWMO Deep Geological Repository (DGR) at the Revell Site (Reference 88774) provides a comprehensive 100-page technical audit and procedural review of the Initial Project Description. As the Borups Corners community—the closest settlement to the proposed nuclear waste repository—we are challenging the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s "host-centric" willingness model, which overlooks the Section 35 rights of neighboring First Nations and excludes unorganized territories and unincorporated townships like Melgund. Our intervention addresses critical environmental impact gaps, including water stewardship, hydrogeological risks, and the lack of Indigenous social and health baseline data. This public comment highlights the socio-economic strain on local infrastructure and the safety risks of a multi-generational project spanning 160 years. To ensure a rigorous federal impact assessment, our detailed recommendations and mitigation strategies for the NWMO Revell Site are now available for download via the IAAC registry and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) public repository.
