Nature Discovery Workshop

Come snowshoe with For Our Kids Ottawa-Gatineau at the Carleton Wildlife Centre! 

Sunday February 23rd, 10am-12pm.

This activity is free! We'll provide the snowshoes and hot chocolate.

This event has an indoor space (with bathrooms) that we will use after the outdoor activities. 

In addition to making awesome memories and experiencing the outdoors and all the mental health benefit it brings, we will have simple, optional actions that you can take (like sending a postcard) to bring these events to the next level. Community + Outdoors + advocacy!

Please RSVP by February 19 with how many adults and children would like to attend and we will confirm to you (by email) if there is space available. All ages are welcome and all children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
