We are proud to announce two amazing contributions towards nature play in
Lethbridge! Recently we received a $5,000 grant from the Community
Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta. We also received a $500
grant from The Georgina Foundation. Both grants will support our Nature
Play Space Kiosk project!
Chris Fisher, author of “Birds of Alberta”, delighted an audience with his
tribute to birds on a chilly December 2nd afternoon at the Nature Centre.
The presentation was part of the Travel Adventures series. It was a
reflection on a life well-traveled, influenced by birds and their diverse
beauty. It reminded us that birds offer a vital, extra sense of wonder and
meaning for our lives.
We are proud to report that our Welcome to Canada pilot program was a
success! This was the first of several planned programs that will take
place over the next year. This will support new Canadians connect with
Lethbridge's amazing natural spaces. We seek to foster a sense of
belonging, as well as comfort and familiarity in spending time outside.
Thirty-eight new Canadians took part in the first program.
