It’s for the birds (in a good way)! 🦅
The Bobcaygeon Branch is now the first bird-safe building in the City of Kawartha Lakes, thanks to new window treatments that help reduce bird collisions. This project reflects a community partnership focused on protecting local wildlife. Visit our website for the full story.

In celebration of World Environment Day (June 5), we feel this upgrade is a fitting reminder that even small design choices can have a meaningful impact on the natural world around us.
