90th Anniversary Celebration

This show is performed by TFN members to celebrate our history and love of nature. It is divided into the four seasons and each season will have skits, haikus, stories, reports and songs including a few sing alongs for audience participation.

The show takes about 1.5 hours without an intermission and will be followed by serving of anniversary cake and coffee and tea.

General Admission tickets will be sold online and through the office starting in mid-August. As it is a small theatre, you should reserve early if you wish to attend. Price $15.00 for adults, $5.00 for children 6 to 12 years. No children under 6.

Barn Swallow NestWatch
Barn Swallow populations are declining rapidly across Canada, and the species is classified as Threatened in Ontario. To learn more about threats to Barn Swallows, Bird Studies Canada is launching Barn Swallow NestWatch in Ontario...and you can help!
Barn Swallow NestWatch is part of Project NestWatch - a citizen science program to help follow and understand the health of bird populations through the long-term monitoring of nesting activity. Valuable data collected through provincial and regional nest record schemes across Canada, and by NestWatch volunteers, supports effective conservation efforts for wild birds and their habitats. Please contact projectnestwatch@birdscanada.org for more information.
Ontario Turtle Tally
Report your turtle sightings by entering your observations into the Turtle Tally database. Information collected will be submitted to the Natural Heritage Information Centre and used to learn more about turtle distributions in Ontario.
