Héma-Québec

Héma-Québec is a Canadian nonprofit organization that serves as the primary blood authority in the province of Quebec. Its role and mission are nearly identical to that of Canadian Blood Services, though its work is focused exclusively in Quebec. Though it is separate from Canadian Blood Services, the two organizations cooperate and coordinate with one another and together form an integral part of Canada’s health-care system. Both are responsible for ensuring a steady supply of blood, plasma and other blood products for Canadian health-care needs.

Hemlock Trees in Canada

Hemlock (Tsuga) is a genus of evergreen trees in the Pinaceae family native to North America and central and eastern Asia. At least 10 species of hemlock exist in the world, with only three growing in Canada: the eastern hemlock, western hemlock and mountain hemlock. These trees are often referred to as foundation species, meaning they play a vital role in creating and maintaining the ecosystem in which they reside. For hemlocks, their roles as a food source and habitat for wildlife, as well as their temperature-regulating qualities, make them incredibly valuable.

Heron

The heron (Ardeidae) family of birds comprises 60 species worldwide, 12 in Canada (including true herons, egrets, night herons and bitterns). Most herons are long-legged, long-necked wading birds which look for food (tiny fish, crustaceans, insects, amphibians and reptiles) in shallow fresh or salt water. They have long, rounded, rather broad wings and relatively short tails. They are distinguished from cranes by their position in flight, necks bent and heads supported between their shoulders. All have straight, rather long bills that distinguish them from ibises, which are similar in appearance but have long, curved bills.
