All are welcome to attend.

Their hard work weeding, shoveling woodchips, planting, and tidying these spaces has helped create a welcoming and vibrant setting for the community to enjoy. We are grateful for your dedication, enthusiasm, and community spirit.

💚Thank you for helping our hamlet bloom! 🌼🌿

Tomorrow, 9 May 2026, is World Migratory Bird Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness of migratory birds, the remarkable journeys they make, and the actions we can take to help protect them.

Every year, observations from birdwatchers, communities, and scientists help piece together the migrations across cities, countries & continents. This year’s theme, “Every Bird Counts – Your Observations Matter!”, highlights how each sighting contributes to science and policy to improve conservation efforts.

Whether you join a bird walk, take part in a count, or record what you see nearby, your observations add to a growing body of knowledge that supports migratory bird conservation.

Join us tomorrow to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day and be part of a collective, global effort to raise awareness of the importance of conserving migratory birds across the world’s flyways.

Many birds are noisier this time of year, and there's a reason. Spring is peak breeding season, which means birds are calling out more often to attract mates and establish territory. In Ontario, that shift is especially noticeable as migratory species return.

Here are a few species to look out for this spring, and how to nurture them:

Baltimore Oriole → https://www.birdscanada.org/tipsorioles

Ruby-throated Hummingbird →

Yellow Warbler →

Follow these simple steps for attracting and feeding orioles while creating a safe environment for them.
