A big part of being able to identify birds is your ability to ID by song!

On Wednesday, May 4, learn how to get started with birders Ian Cook and Tanya Clark in this interactive presentation with sound clips of common birds, strategies to help you memorize songs and species to focus on.

This event will be hosted and recorded on Zoom with time for questions.

Our first Passport to Nature event took place on a rainy Saturday morning in honour of Earth Day.

Candy Baker, pictured above, and 20 more participants roamed around Scout Valley's parking lot and trails armed with garbage bags to pick up litter in the area.

UPDATE: City Council provided direction at its meeting on April 25 to update the City’s Land Needs Assessment to contemplate higher minimum intensification and designated greenfield density targets for residential development to be considered with boundary expansion recommendations.

Take a road trip this spring!
