Every year bird enthusiasts around the world take part in the three-day event counting birds to help create a real-time snap shot of how many birds are where.

Come hang out in the children's area for at least 15 minutes between February 13-15, watch for birds on our patio and record your sightings on our tally sheet. At the end of the event, we will submit the numbers as part of the Great Back Yard Bird Count!

Do you love making Granny Squares, but don’t know what to do with them? Or maybe you'd like to learn how to make fun new designs? Well, you're in luck!

Participate in our Community Quilt Project, running from January 15 to March 15th. Simply bring in your 5" x 5" granny squares to add to our community-made quilt to any branch. When completed, the finished Granny Square Quilt will be donated to the Dialysis Unit at Welland Hospital, as a heartfelt gift from our community—stitching together comfort, colour, and care.

Peter Martin brings over 30 years of experience working at historic War of 1812 sites and has presented on various topics throughout North America. Peter will showcase and discuss weapons of all shapes and sizes from the War of 1812.  From the standard weapons that soldiers carried into battle to the more distinctive weapons carried by cavalry, navy, and First Nations, all will be on display.   On the day before Valentine’s Day, nothing says I love you like a tickle from a feather spring.
