NEXT MEETING

 

 Monday January 26, 2026

7:30 pm  via ZOOM only 

Kyle Horner - "A Deep Dive Into the State of Canada's Birds"

Kyle Horner is the NatureCounts Engagement Coordinator for Birds Canada, and was a part of the team that developed the State of Canada’s Birds. Kyle is a career science communicator, avid naturalist, and a tour leader with Quest Nature Tours. He is an Ontario native now based in Delta, British Columbia.

Released in late 2024, the State of Canada’s Birds is your one-stop-shop for information on how birds in Canada are doing!  In this talk we’ll look at how the State of Canada’s Birds was built, what it is, what it tells us, and what we can do to help birds across the country.  The State of Canada’s Birds was developed in partnership by Birds Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada.

This will be a ZOOM meeting only 

 

Most meetings are held at Centennial Albert United Church,

19 Rosehill Blvd.,

Doors open at 7:00pm
