We encourage people to come to the Open House on July 30th to see and learn about the many different species of birds that we have in Quebec. It is a day filled with activities for the whole family” says Jo-Annie Gagnon, Le Nichoir’s Education Coordinator.

Open House is a great opportunity to take a guided tour of the Centre and Le Nichoir’s outdoor aviaries, to walk the trails of the Sydenham Clarke Nature Reserve with naturalist Chris Cloutier from the Morgan Arboretum or to meet Chief Top Leaf from Mohawk Nation.Screen Shot 2016-07-22 at 12.05.42 AM
