Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Number
for
Parksville
Qualicum.
Thank
you
honorable
speaker
next
time,
you're
flying
back
from
a
vacation
in
Mexico.
Imagine
you're
traveling
that
same
distance
by
flapping.
Your
arms
then
consider
going
all
the
way
to
the
high
Arctic
by
wing
power.
That
is
exactly
what
brand
geese
do
every
spring,
only
to
return
again
in
the
fall
all
the
way
back
to
Mexico
well
over
ten
thousand
kilometers
round
trip.
It's
an
incredible
journey
and
parcel
Qualicum
is
an
important
refueling
stop
along
the
way
in
Oceanside
the
Brant
capital
of
Canada.
These
Intrepid
Travelers
get
the
respect
they
deserve.
A
They
get
time
and
space
to
feed
on
our
beaches
and
they
are
the
namesake
of
the
Brant
Wildlife
Festival.
The
spring
celebration
of
nature
was
established
in
1991
and
this
will
be
their
32nd
year.
This
Festival
truly
has
something
for
everyone.
The
Aerosmith
naturalists
perform
an
annual
brand
count
to
keep
an
eye
on
the
brand
numbers.
The
Brand's
wildlife
Festival
liftoff.
Is
this
Friday
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
attending
it?
They
have
a
carving
and
art,
show
that's
in
its
30th
year
and
this
year.
A
For
the
first
time
ever,
the
school
district
69
is
hosting
the
Brand's
Wildlife
children's
festival
and
many
partners
and
sponsors
lots
of
natural
related
displays
and
life-sides
dioramas
will
be
available
for
kids
of
all
ages.
There
will
be
tours
of
the
Englishman
River
Estuary,
the
Heritage
forest
and
the
Hamilton
Marsh,
the
Brandt
and
basic
bird
ID
and
bird
watching
courses
will
be
provided
by
local
experts
and
the
North
Island
Wildlife
Recovery
Center
will
be
doing
an
eagle
release.
A
There
are
also
events
at
the
Deep
Bay
Marine,
Center,
Field,
Station,
the
old
school
house,
the
McMillan
Art
Center,
the
Qualcomm
Beach
Museum
and
our
local
libraries,
and
so
much
more
for
those
who
are
lucky
enough
to
witness
this
incredible
annual
migration.
When
you
hear
that
crying
crying
and
see
a
krogue
of
Brands
remember
how
important
it
is
that
we
keep
space
for
nature,
because
we
are
all
connected.
Thank
you.
