Birding With Pride at Point Pelee National Park May 3rd from 9:00am to 2:30pm Join the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) at Point Pelee National Park for the third annual Birding With Pride open house during the Festival of Birds! Join us at the Northwest Beach pavilion for refreshments and to meet fellow members of the birding community, learn more about OFO, and join guided bird hikes. Opening remarks will be made at 9:30am. This event is a celebration of the 2SLGBTQIA+ Community but all are welcome. We encourage all experiences including beginner and first-time birders to join. Creating a respectful, welcoming, and accessible environment is our priority as we enjoy spring migration at Point Pelee. Hikes will leave from the Northwest Beach Parking Lot at 10:00am and 1:00pm and will be about one hour long. We recommend arriving about 15 minutes early if you are joining a hike so we can assign groups to leaders. OFO will have a table set up with refreshments in the Northwest Beach pavilion from 9:00am to 2:30pm so stop in for a visit at any time! Birding With Pride is also a fundraiser for Trans Wellness Ontario. From the first two years of the event, we have raised $1,103.85! Cash donations can be made at the event. If you are unable to attend but still interested in supporting Trans Wellness Ontario, please visit https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/129379 to make a donation to this important cause.
