On Wednesday, June 11, the moon will appear full and bright in the night sky. The following evening, REACH Community Health Centre is holding a ceremony “for Indigenous women to connect, honor our ancestors, and celebrate our strength.” Many Coast Salish cultures follow a 13 moon calendar, with each moon helping to mark shifts in nature and signifying corresponding changes in way of living.

The Herons are Here: Colony Tour
Nature House at Stanley Park, Vancouver
Wednesday, June 11, 5:30–6:45 p.m.

Bird enthusiasts, biology students, or those who are simply curious in learning about the process can attend the tour and “learn all about how these beautiful and large birds navigate the canopy,” as well as “discover how Stanley Park Ecology stewards and supports the heron colony.”
