It's Environment Week!

On Sunday June 4, Okotoks Enviromental Education Centre hosted an Explore Wild event where people could learn the importance of wildlife!

The day was full events starting at 10:00am and went to 6:00pm.

I participated in a wild scavenger hunt exploring Okotoks and searching for different plants, insects, and animal markings... I then had the privilege to listen in on a presentation by the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre featuring Lito the Hawk! Lito was rescued from a ranch in the High River area, and is now used to educate people on wildlife.

The Okotoks Operations Centre will be having their grand opening June 10th from 10am to 2pm!

Also there is a contest you can enter to win GREAT prizes! All you have to do is upload a photo to Okotoks.ca under Environmental Events, doing something green or eco-friendly!
