​​I am humbled and honoured to have been recently accepted as a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. The ceremony was held in Ottawa earlier this week.

How inspiring it was to be in the company of so many exemplary Canadians who also received fellowships, received medals, and who spoke at the evening gala (Dr. Roberta Bondar, Rt. Hon. Joe Clark, Rt. Hon. David Johnson to name a few)! A big thank you to Carol Patterson for the nomination. Carol has been a wonderfu
l personal mentor and Ellis Bird Farm supporter over the years.

The experience was extra special because it was shared with a great personal friend and another Ellis Bird Farm champion (and founding board chairman), Morris Flewwelling. What a treat it was to also be in the company of Dr. Dee (who was also inducted) and Brian Keating (we are pictured here with Anne Innis Dogg, the "Jane Goodall of Giraffes").

​We live in troubled times, but there are so many talented and dedicated men and women across this great land who are working tirelessly on behalf of this beautiful country (and planet). My thanks to them!

​Feeding the Bunnies at EBF

11/5/2019

0 Comments

 
Since we cleaned up all the EBF gardens this fall, we thought we'd supplement the diet of our resident snowshoe hares with a few pellets. The deer scarfed all the outside offerings so we decided to place a little pellet pile inside the Grain Elevator (the hares love being in this old building) and use a trail cam to see which creatures availed themselves of the treats. So far, we've recorded the hares, flying squirrels, red squirrels and so many adorable little deer mice. Rather than eating the food, it appears that they just pack it all away. So industrious!

​We have installed a new fence to accommodate our growing number of display boxes. Claudia Lipski took advantage of the warm(ish) recent weather to move some boxes from the Blue Feather Award fence over to their new home.
