WEBINAR
November 24 Week 4: Coastal Carnivorous Cats
From baby bobcats to colossal cougars, we will get up close with some furry and ferocious felines that you can find in the Pacific Northwest. Learn which adaptations these purring panthers have to make them such elusive and inventive hunters. What are those long tails for? What do they eat in urban settings? Which ones can you find in Metro Vancouver or even used to wander through Stanley Park. Pounce on over to find out where these cool cats can be found in British Columbia.

ABOUT CRITTER CLUB
Do you know any children who are captivated by creatures? Curious about cougars? Fascinated by fish? Infatuated by insects? Interested in all things intertidal? SPES is running our SECOND Critter Club Series!
Starting November 03, SPES educators are offering an interactive online club for children who are passionate about animals, want to learn more about them, and want to help protect them. We will explore wildlife in Stanley Park and around us through art, activities, short presentations, Q&A, and more! The club is open to children who attended the first series or new participants!
Critter Club offers young minds a place to grow their curiosity, meet other like-minded children, and have fun!
Clubbers will meet once a week, over four weeks, 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for home-schooled children. Clubbers will be offered an optional exciting activity to do on their own over the next week! Activities will be based around sustainable living and learning how to protect our precious wildlife. Participants can bond with each other other while sharing their individual activities during the break-out session the following week.
Participants can sign up for the series or just join for one or two. Or, book your own after school or other day of the week Critter Club! Email us to inquire about that option at school@stanleyparkecology.ca
