Guest Speakers:
“Winter Wild Animals”
Two Games will be played:
(1) The Web of Life Game
(2) The Predator/Prey Game
(One or both of these games may be played in the snow. Weather permitting) ….so dress warm.
Children will learn the ecology of local wild animals and how they survive in winter. Each child will be face painted as a wild animal to participate in the games! We’ll see who gets to be the Bobcat & who gets to be the Hare! Educational prizes will be donated by the “Wilderness Committee.”
All children must be accompanied by an adult (younger children are welcome with adult supervision).
* We will need help face painting the children to look like winter wild animals! If any parents or caregivers are interested in helping, just let us know when you arrive the day of the event.

Green Drinks is a monthly gathering of anyone interested in “green” topics. The idea is that everyone invites a friend, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organizing network. Chat, debate and socialize with other Whistlerites who are passionate about environmental and sustainability issues.
