Nature Fridays!

Join our Sustainability Team every week for Nature Friday at the Environmental Education Centre. We'll be hosting family-friendly activities that are fun and teach our littlest locals (kids) and all residents about local initiatives, how to connect with nature, and practical ways you can make a positive impact on our community and the planet.

There will be a different theme each Nature Friday with programming that includes self-led activities in the morning with a focus on younger families; while afternoon activities will be geared to all families, school-aged kids and seniors with conservation presentations, tours, movies, screenings etc.
