Education—A Cornerstone of Our Work

An important focus of the Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre’s programs is not only helping people discover and connect to nature, but also to empower them to work to protect it. We continue to deliver our programs to a wide range of audiences, including schools throughout the Ottawa area as well as hosting groups at the Centre who participate in our Nature Discovery Workshops.
We love that we that we get to connect with and learn about other community groups and organizations. These connections always are fulfilling and have resulted in many positive partnerships. Here are a few of the groups we have had the pleasure of recently working with:
For Our Kids Ottawa Gatineau is a network of parents and families from diverse backgrounds and levels of experience, united by their concern for their children's future and are determined  to take action to reduce the impacts of climate change. This parent-led network of volunteers, is driven to take climate action for their kids, grandkids and future generations. They believe climate action is now an essential parenting skill.
FOK visited the Centre this spring to kick off our Pollinator Protectors Workshop and Garden Initiative, funded by the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.
This is a great enhancement to the stewardship work that we have been leading on Campus. The rich biodiversity on Campus will benefit from the development of this garden.
