Giving Tuesday: November 28, 2023

Picture
 Giving Tuesday is a day to support non-profits after the sales of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This year, we're asking for your help raising $2,000 for new pond dipping nets. For anyone who has visited our site, you know that pond dipping is a massive attraction as people can discover the often unseen world of pond life. In order to keep this activity sustainable for us, we are investing in high-quality nets which can be used for seasons to come. However, to make our dream a reality, we need your help. We ask you to consider donating to help us reach our goal, as well as share our campaign far and wide!

Donations can be made on our CanadaHelps fundraiser page, which can be found by clicking HERE.

Land Acknowledgement

Ellis Bird Farm acknowledges that we work, play, and learn on Treaty 6 territory, traditional homeland of many First Nations, Metis, and Inuit groups since time immemorial. Additionally, we give thanks for all the teachings these groups have passed on about the importance of caring for and giving back to our natural spaces and the creatures we share those spaces with. On our continuous journey of reconciliation, we appreciate the teachings of Indigenous elders and community leaders about the importance of the land and our connection with it.
