Spirits of the Sanctuary
Relax, get comfortable on your
favourite lawn chair or blanket and be enthralled as the Spirits of
the Sanctuary travel from afar and gather in the deep woods and
forests near the Visitor Center at the Upper Canada Migratory Bird
Sanctuary. As the evening proceeds, we will be introduced to famous and
infamous characters from our area's past as their spirits venture from the
safety and security of the trees and step out of the darkness to tell
their stories. You will be enthralled as their stories unfold. Some
characters left a positive contribution to the area and the time, while
others were hunted down for their wicked and despicable ways. Come join
the Spirits of the Sanctuary on August 14(rain date August 21).
Around a campfire, Spirits share local
historical stories…bring along a lawn chair and bug spray.

Nature and Wildlife Day
The Friends of the Sanctuary look
forward with great enthusiasm to September each year as we present
Nature and Wildlife Day(formerly known as Waterfowl Day). This
year we welcome visitors of all ages at The Sanctuary on September 26
from 11 am to 5 pm.
As a group of truly dedicated
volunteers, we work throughout the year to organise and gather a long list
of amazing displays, rarely seen birds and animals, artisans, a
craft-building project for youngsters, a petting zoo, and so on and on and
on. We also offer a food court and everything is handicapped accessible
and barrier free. This day is truly educational and entertaining for all
ages!
There will be more information in area
newspapers and other media as we get closer to the big day. Make
sure you circle September 26 on your calendar today!
