Canada Culture Days events at the marsh

Months ago we received an email from Pam Mackenzie asking if we would like to be part of  Canada culture days  and after getting approval form the HMREC board of directors we were happy to agree . This past weekend was Canada culture days and we had the chance to host 2 owl banding events and a  a song bird banding event. We had about 100 people join us for all of the banding and we were successful in banding a bunch of owls and managed to band about 30 songbirds  the majority being sparrows and we wowed the crowd with a beautiful blue jay.  I think the important reason that the marsh is involved in culture days is that conservation and taking care of nature is a huge part of being  Canadian and should be  highlighted and honoured during culture day.   Pam was very excited about the marsh being a part of the celebration and has already asked us to be a part of next years  event. We are so in !!!!! thanks Pam and to everyone who joined in the fun. Murph
