species. The group will start by checking a few local
fields for snowy owls before driving through the forest. In the
woods participants may see good numbers of northern finches,
woodpeckers, and early spring migrants and, with luck,
interesting raptors or ruffed grouse. If time permits, the
group will check the fields around the village of Casselman
for more snowy owls and rough-legged hawks.

We specialize
in happiness
Spreading happiness is easier than you might imagine,
but it takes dedication, skill, resources, and a lot of love.
When you help make a sick child better you’re really
sprinkling joy across every age group and generation of
our community.
By helping our children’s hospital care for our kids, you
can spread a lot of happiness at the holiday season or on
any special occasion. It’s a gift that’s never out of style.
And when you make a donation in the name of your
friends we’ll send them a personalized card to tell them
about the gift of joy you’ve made on their behalf.
Or consider the happiness you could spread by establishing
a permanent fund at CHEO in your name, or in
the name of a loved one. The support provided by your
fund would reach far into the future to help hundreds of
children. You’ll never find a better way to spread a lot of
happiness.
Every donation helps, and every dollar donated to CHEO
stays in our community to care for our children, grandchildren,
and great grandchildren. Please call to find out
how you can help in the important and joyful work of
keeping our children healthy.
