Show Your Love for Fish Creek this Valentine’s Day

Are you looking for a gift for that special someone this Valentine’s Day? The Friends have some amazing gift ideas that will not only warm the heart of your valentine, but will also help support Fish Creek Provincial Park. Through the Friends’ brick program, you can donate a personalized brick within the Fish Creek Community Terrace at the Bow Valley Ranch. Bricks will be installed this summer and the Friends will provide a certificate that you can give to your valentine. You can also make a dedication donation to the Friends in honour of your special someone and we will provide them with a personalized certificate. A dedication gift is perfect for anyone who cares about Fish Creek, enjoys visiting this park, and would like to see it preserved for future generations.

Fish Creek Speaker Series 2023

We are so happy to announce that the Fish Creek Speaker Series is returning to the Fish Creek Environmental Learning Centre for the 2023 season, and in an even more accessible format! Now we are putting technology to work to increase accessibility for audience members who may not be able to attend in-person, and so we can bring in presenters from further afield. Presentations from February to March will take place virtually through Zoom. Online presentations may also be provided if presenters are located in a distant region. Upcoming Fish Creek presentations include Wild Wolf Watching in Yellowstone National Park on Thursday, February 9, presented by Kelly Hazen, and Environmental Impacts of Effluent Release on Thursday, March 9, presented by Matthew Bogard, University of Lethbridge. Stay tuned to the Friends website for more information about Fish Creek Speaker Series talks: https://friendsoffishcreek.org/programs/speaker-series.
