ROCKLIN, Calif., Jan. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Ridley Gallery is pleased to present the work of Vincent Pacheco: Upstanding Citizen. Vincent Pacheco explores ancestral memories through an installation of hand-made piñatas. As a third-generation Mexican American caught between two worlds--an oppressed minority, and an upstanding citizen in white society-- Pacheco uses this traditional craft to forge new cultural understanding. He embeds each piñata with familial memories, akin to a totem, and aims to forge new connections about his family's crime-ridden past, his fading knowledge of ancestry, and his place in the world.

"WWF-Canada is calling for not only the release of the delayed Ocean Noise Strategy, but for one strong enough to deliver meaningful, measurable and urgent action that whales and other species impacted by underwater noise pollution desperately need."

Key Points:

"WWF-Canada is calling for not only the release of the delayed Ocean Noise Strategy, but for one strong enough to deliver meaningful, measurable and urgent action that whales and other species impacted by underwater noise pollution desperately need."
To hit the right note, Canada's Ocean Noise Strategy should:
Establish noise limits for activities we know have a negative effect on soundscapes, such as shipping and oil and gas exploration.
Put in place regulations for ongoing monitoring of noise levels and enforcement of noise limits and reduction targets.
Without teeth, it's unlikely Canada's Ocean Noise Strategy will help mitigate noise pollution.
