"My daughter and I were at FortWhyte on Sunday and didn’t even realize before I arrived it was an Earth Day celebration. (We were there to see Aaron Burnett - who was also fun to watch.) We were first greeted by some very friendly volunteers who directed us where to park. We were then greeted by some more friendly volunteers that offered a map and schedule of events. Everywhere we went people were helpful from the gentleman who insisted that I try the bannock ,to the lady who helped my daughter find the right place to dip her critter net, to the gentleman who let my daughter try the rock climb just 2 more times. It was great! We had a wonderful time and every time we go the facilities are better and better. Your website is also very impressive as well as the programs offered for kids. It seems like this is an organization that really has it together. We will definitely be back! (Oh yeah, and the soup was delicious as well!)

Volunteer Quotable Quotes:

"I feel deeply about my commitment to Fortwhyte - in helping to guide it towards a humane, non-elitist centre for learning about our world. It’s so important to impart a sense of wonder to the next generation. I see this wonder at the Sod House every time I am working there - it is a privilege to be sharing the stories of our past, and celebrating the pioneers of today. I think I can barely scratch the surface of how much FortWhyte means to me. I must say that as one gets older, there is a fierce need to do and leave something meaningful for the next generation."  Judy Stewart
