A nasty weather day in mid-October shut down this year’s annual Migration Festival pancake breakfast at Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary, but an effort from some determined volunteers saw it come back to life on the morning of December 7 in the Sanctuary’s “Shop.”
Pancakes, sausages, home fries and hot coffee were enjoyed by a steady flow of families that made donations that will help to meet the day-to-day expenses at the complex on Road 3 West.
The breakfast wasn’t the only event at the sanctuary over the weekend, as a Santa meet-and-greet and open house was held December 5, while a special ceremony to honour Rick Fleming was held on December 6 at Kennedy Woods. Fleming was a longtime volunteer and spent countless hours maintaining the trails in Kennedy Woods just east of the sanctuary. A sign has been erected at the beginning of a trail system in the woods to thank and remember Rick for his immense efforts over the years.
Rick Fleming was honoured this past Saturday for his efforts in taking care of the trails in Kingsville’s Kennedy Woods.
