Woodpeckers are neat, really
Take a walk in the woods and, while you’re there, why not learn about woodpeckers? Francis/King Nature Centre, just off Munn Road, is the place to go if you’re interested.

Two times are offered for this free event: an adult walk from 11 am to 12:30 pm and an all-ages walk from 1:30 to 2:30 pm. Visit crd.bc.ca for more information.

There is limited space; if you are interested please pre-register by November 13 by calling 250–478–3344, which is also the number you can call for more information.
