Since the 1960s, the seed centre has collected and catalogued millions of seeds and stored them in freezers below ground level at the Hugh John Flemming Forestry Centre. Seeds coming into the centre are inspected for viability, catalogued and frozen. Most go into one of three –20 C freezers. In the case of those that can't survive such conditions, their embryos are frozen in liquid nitrogen.
"So when you're talking 700 tree and shrub species over 1,000 eco-districts, there's a lot of collections to be made to conserve and have that seed available for research and conservation purposes." Under a program just launched by Natural Resources Canada, the seed centre is looking to focus on species that First Nations consider important.

Did someone finally grew the balls to write this?👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 so far I was public enemy 1! So we are very far away indeed!
You simply can’t make a easy and peaceful cross country trip on EV in Canada. And with below freezing temp your range will drop 50%.
First you have to be able to afford an electric 🚗
'easily' ClimateChange isn't going to be 'easy'. In fact, it's already begun to make life extremely difficult for everyone. Meanwhile, CBC publishes pandering clickbait.
Being real, how many people are driving across Canada? I'd wager most people use their cars to commute and run errands 99.9% of the time.
The idea that people need to regularly drive across Canada is a red herring.
