That's Great to be Outside! Fall 2007

Through the Nature Walk & Workshop programs, the students from 5 different elementary schools learned about "Bats" and "Salmon of the Pacific".

Bat Play May 2007

This wonderful and funny play was made for the 2007 S&K Campaign with help from the NWPS volunteers and staff, and the cheers of 650 Vancouver children!!!

"Behind the scene": Robyn, Fanny, Mike, William, Deb, Juan Carlos, Catherine, Linda, Ishwarya.

The play took place at the Michael J. Fox Theater in Burnaby on May 16th. It's about two different bat species who live somewhere in Mexico. One likes to feed on fruit and the other on insects they're different, but they're both bats.

The objective of the play was to teach the children about the bats role in nature, the ways in which they benefit humans, and the similarities and differences between species.

The children were so happy and they even participated in the play as volunteers, it was a very funny, educational and interesting experience for everyone!

The actors: Two bats (Catherine&Ishwarya), two barred owls (William&Deb), a tortoise (Juan Carlos), and a mosquito (Robyn), as well a musician (Mike), Linda (director) and Fanny in the background.
