Canada Day Flowers

Happy Canada Day! volunteers staffing the Wilderness Centre report that although there is still lots of snow around the meadows, summer  is on the way: "Marsh marigolds are out; someone reported shooting stars, and I saw yellow violets. So it’s starting!"

Summer programs are starting also: the first organized event is next Sunday July 8: the annual Strathcona Park Bird Search, an informal bird count in the Paradise Meadows area. Participants should bring binoculars and prepare for snow underfoot, however birding expertise is not required. Pre-register at coordinator@strathconapark.org
