Just a reminder that THIS SATURDAY (March 24) will be the LAST WEEKEND that we will be open for winter fun. Our staff will be taking some well deserved time to rest up and get ready for all our spring programs. Thank you to everyone that came out for fieldtrips or just to check out the trails. The Boreal Centre will be open again on weekends starting on the May Long Weekend
With all the fresh snow today, the snowshoe and cross-country ski conditions will be wonderful so we hope to see you out here tomorrow.

Thank you Rotary Club of Slave Lake!
The Lesser Slave Lake Bird Observatory members and staff were very excited to receive funding yesterday from our local Rotary Club to help us provide more winter programs for local students and families at the Boreal Centre. With this funding, we will be able to purchase more youth snowshoes for our school field trips as well as extra cross-country ski equipment so that more local families can get out on our trails to enjoy nature. Many of our visitors to the Boreal Centre are trying these winter sports for the very first time, so we are hoping to spark a lifelong excitement for winter outdoor fun. The LSLBO was just one of many local non-profit organizations that received funding this week for special community projects.
Thank you once again to the Rotary members for your wonderful support for our winter programs and for everything that you do for our community!
Alberta Parks has set the cross-country ski trails at the Boreal Centre as well as other spots in Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park today, so we hope to see you out here enjoying all this amazing snow. Just stop by the Centre if you would like to borrow some equipment and enjoy the trails!
