    The common loon - the provincial bird of Ontario and state bird of Minnesota. The patterns on their plumage are quite striking and placed in the blue waters of the Canadian Rockies, it's one of our favourite locations to observe these excellent swimmers.

    Today is Canada's 2nd official National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. In our opinion, this is not a day for speaking, but listening. So we'd like to share a few words from Chief Larry Casper, who was kind enough to share his story & wisdom with students through Nature Labs.
