Although
the summer is winding down, we still have some exciting programs for
you to mark on your calendars. This Saturday August 31 we are once again
hosting
the Ontario Falconry Centre.
This is a must-see presentation that we
know you will enjoy. Meet at Beach Access #9 at 1:00pm to get a closer
look at some of
Ontario’s coolest birds! What a great way to spend the last weekend
before the kids are back at school.
We
are also gearing up for this year’s Monarch Migration Festival which
will be held at the Visitor Centre on Sunday September 15th
from 10:00am to
4:00pm.
It’s true, it has been a slow year for Monarchs all across
North America, but we are starting to see more and more of these
brilliant butterflies in the park every day. Come out to enjoy guided
butterfly hikes, Monarch tagging demonstrations, an art show and so much
more.
If
you enjoy long walks on the beach then you may be interested in
volunteering for the annual Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup at
Rondeau
Provincial Park on Saturday September 28th.
This
program was created by the Vancouver Aquarium and World Wildlife Fund
twenty years ago with a goal to keep our waters clean for the creatures
and communities that
depend on them. To date, volunteers have removed over 1.1 million kg of
litter from Canadian shorelines.
If you are interested in helping to
keep Rondeau’s shoreline clean or would like more information on this
amazing program contact Sarah here at the Rondeau
Visitor Centre at 519-674-1768.
