Coordinated with the Audubon’s annual count the Nicola Naturalists will be out this coming Sunday.

You don’t have to be an expert birder to participate in Christmas Bird Counts. Participants spend all or part of the day in a group covering a specific section of the 22-km diameter count circle. It is a great way to get to know the local winter birds and contribute to the world’s longest-running citizen science project.

December 6, 2017

White ribbon day is by an act of the Canadian parliament in 1991 to remember to be against violence against women.

The act was a private members bill brought by member Dawn Black for her New Westminster- Burnaby.
The day encourages the wearing of white or purple ribbons and allows for the flying of the national flag at half post.
