Step into the story of Lethbridge's Chinatown, where summer evenings once saw every bench filled and extra chairs pulled close. Explore the rise of a vibrant community and a quiet transformation of a neighborhood whose echoes are still heard today.
Join us for a two-hour, all-ages exploration of the birds that call the Oldman River Valley home. We’ll begin at the Fort, with a brief introduction to local species and their ecology, before heading out into the river valley for an immersive, hands-on experience in the landscape itself.
Your trip begins at Botterill Bottom boat launch. To begin, a guide from High Level Canoes and Kayaks will get you fitted in your Personal Floatation Device, have a river safety talk, and get you out on the water!
Whether you're into knitting, crochet, embroidery, weaving, or any other fiber-craft, this is your space to create, learn, and connect.
In its second glorious year, the Renaissance Faire at Fort Whoop-Up shall rise once more from the mists of time, from the hour of 12 noon ‘til 5 in the eve, and carry forth its revelry on Saturday, September the 5th!
