Many thanks from the new resource centre!

I am very pleased to announce that Cloverdale Paint in Parksville has donated supplies to The Brant Wildlife Festival for a fresh start in our new office and resource centre.
Than you to Mark Arruda and Cloverdale Paint!
Our new office is located upstairs at Shelly Road Centre at 186 Shelly Road, Parksville.
Our Open House Event is slated for February 1, 2009 between 12-4PM
Brant Wildlife Festival Resource Centre
186 Shelly Road
Parksville, BC
250.586.1331 (as of Friday Jan 23)
Many thanks to Rich Mooney and Nolan Lynch for volunteering to paint the office over the weekend!
Rich is a painter/drywaller by day so we are extra grateful to him for giving up precious birding time on the weekend to help us out!!!
Thank you to Tim Clermont for assisting with moving furniture and so much more!
Featured here are the "during" photos here. After a little more office organization we will post the "after" photos. Maybe even a shot of the outside of the building if the fog ever clears here in sunny Parksville.
The hall has inside space as well as a huge yard for outdoor events. Thank you to Bard to Broadway for sharing the space with us and to Leana and Rich, the hall managers, who have bent over backwards to make sure we had a smooth transition.
This resource centre will serve as headquarters for the festival. Many events in 2009 will be held right here in the hall spaces below the office! As well, the public can drop in any time the sign is out for information on the festival or about Brant. The space is a perfect location as it is located right in town and it is so close to the entrance to the Nature Trust of BC trails at the Englishman River Estuary.
Looking forward to a fantastic 2009 season!
