Aaron Deans, the current executive director of the Allan Brooks Nature Centre Society, joined us for our February 27th lunch and gave us a very interesting presentation about the Society and its involvement with the community. Aaron is obviously very passionate about social partnership development and programs to increase public awareness of "nature". He spoke about goals that aim at engaging the public, particularly the youth, in learning more about nature and hopefully getting more involved in preservation programs. It was encouraging to see photos of the various youth oriented programs, such as the Yellow Fish Road Project, the Jr. Nature Sketch Club and the photo workshops for youth. If you want to learn more about these projects or get more involved with nature, please visit the Centre at 250 Allan Brooks Way (google it or call 250-260-4227 for their daily schedule).Janice (Ouchi) Buick also attended our lunch. She is also involved with the Centre as an Event Coordinator. She asked if we could help advertise their Allan Brooks Dinner & Auction scheduled for April 4th. Tickets can be reserved at ticketseller.ca, and anyone interested in donating an item for the auction or getting more details about it, can contact Janice at 250-306-7945.
