We invite you to join the mass migration of Pacific shorebirds, raptors, waterfowl and songbirds.  Their shoreside respite is framed against the pristine backdrop of coastal glaciers and mountains, the breathtaking vista that we call home.  Come armed with your binoculars, spotting scopes, cameras, sketch books and pencils and leave with a heart full of memories.

Presenters: Amy-Claire Huestis & Kim Trainor

Amy and Kim present their community project from the Coast Salish territories of the Fraser River, "walk quietly: ts’ekw’unshun kws qututhun (walk quietly with respect and care along the shore),” a curated guided walk situated at Hwlhits'um (Brunswick Point in Delta, British Columbia)—a key shorebird stopover site along the Pacific Flyway and feeding ground of the Western Sandpiper. The project shares diverse perspectives of this magical place, told by scientists, artists, and Hwlistsum and Cowichan knowledge holders. It brings attention to the threat to the Western Sandpiper due to the approved expansion of a shipping terminal at the site.  https://walkquietly.ca
