Friday, October 1, 2021 to Saturday, October 16, 2021 - City Centre Scarecrow Contest
We have an entry in the City Centre Business Association's annual Scarecrow Building Contest!
Come on down and take a photo with our scarecrow, or simply vote for us on Facebook! You can win a gift card prize bundle valued at $125 each if you vote and a chance to win a $200 prize pack if you take a photo with the scarecrow!
The theme is Superheroes and Supervillians, so we created SuperOwl!
Monday, October 4, 2021 to Friday, October 8, 2021 - Food Bank Drive & Suet Giveaway
We are collecting donations for the Parkland Food Bank! Bring in a non-perishable food item, such as soup, canned fruit or vegetables, pasta, rice, or other packaged food items, and receive a free suet cake for your birds!
Help to feed our community, and we'll help you to feed your birds!

Saturday, October 16, 2021 - Suet Pinecone Workshop (Register Here)
We will have a Suet Pinecone Building Workshop set up in our Community Corner!
There are 4 timeslots available that you can sign up for to make sure we don't have too many people creating their pinecone at one time: 10-12, 12-2, 2-4, or 4-6.
The cost is $10 and you get to create two large pinecones covered in spreadable suet and rolled in seed! Your birds will love these natural handmade treats!
