Join us for Nature Friday where we will be creating Dreamcatchers with special guest, Desmond Jackson, the Town of Okotoks' Indigenous Advisor. We will start the afternoon by going on a river walk to collect Willow branches, and then we will head back to the Environmental Education Centre where Desmond will lead us through creating a Dreamcatcher! We will also have colouring pages, a scavenger hunt and more throughout the day!
Please note, registration is required for the dreamcatcher portion of the day as space is limited. Register now to reserve your spot!
