Canada's Endangered Animals Book Launch: June 28th, 1pm

Come stop by our gift shop on June 28th at 1pm for Canada's Endangered Animals by Grace Kennedy book launch!

From musical songbirds to majestic mammals, many incredible animals call Canada home, but not all of them are thriving here. Canada's Endangered Animals introduces young readers to 12 species at risk of going extinct across the country due to climate change, poaching, disease, and human interference.

This accessible book for young readers includes profiles of each animal showcasing its habitat, diet, and population number, as well as fascinating facts and a What Are We Doing? section to explain how scientists and citizens are keeping these animals alive. Readers will also find advice on how they can help at home, from building a bat box to planting native flowers, as well as an illustrated map to locate each animal across the country.

Learn about our pricing: the GBHNR is a non-profit organization and registered charity. We rely on program fees to support the education, conservation, and outreach we do to protect the invaluable wetlands ecosystems on our site. We take pride in offering quality, affordable programming that offers experiences for folks to connect with nature and their creative sides. We appreciate your support of our organization!
