Congratulations to City of Kitchener and their Bird Friendly City team for becoming a Bird Friendly City! “The Kitchener Bird Team is thankful for the expertise, time, and work put into certification by its dedicated volunteers and city staff, as well as to readers and adjudicators of certification documents by Nature Canada. For us, being Bird-Friendly shows us the best of what Kitchener is already doing to help support regional birds, and it also sets priorities for areas we can further develop in being attentive to bird-friendly ecologies around us.” – Jennifer Clary-Lemond, Bird Friendly Kitchener co-chair You can check out their full application and learn more about the Bird Friendly City program at naturecanada.ca/bfc #BirdFriendlyCity #CanadaBirds #ProtectBirds #NatureCanada #Kitchener #Ontario

Congratulations to Uxbridge and their Bird Friendly City Team Bird Friendly Uxbridge for becoming a Bird Friendly City [township]! “This past year of hard work, culminating in achieving Nature Canada’s Bird Friendly Certification for our Township, represents just how much volunteers can accomplish, and it motivates me to keep going. The biodiversity crisis we live through can feel overwhelming, but what encourages me is that there is so much we can do individually and as community members to reduce colonial human impacts on our environment. Small initiatives can gain momentum and lead to greater change!” - Carly Davenport, Bird Friendly Uxbridge Founder You can check out their full application and learn more about the Bird Friendly City program at naturecanada.ca/bfc #BirdFriendlyCity #CanadaBirds #ProtectBirds #NatureCanada #Uxbridge #Ontario
