“We are hosting this carnival as a way to have our BVCC participants be visible in the community and to give children in the Bow Valley that are neurodiverse the opportunity to play and enjoy themselves in an inclusive environment."

The final edition of the Birds of the Bow Valley showcases a juvenile osprey swallowing some of its diet of fish brought by one of its parents.

“As a community we have come a long way, but there is definitely still a lot of work to be done and I think it’s a lot about education as well. There is a really wide spectrum of queerness and we really want people to understand that.”

“I’m so happy that we got the grant to be able to do this. People are looking for live music and because it’s outside we will be able to host this."

“Playing live was always a gift and it was like that gift was taken away from us and now we’ve been given it back. It’s a real joy. Being a musician is something we are not just something that we do so to have live music back – there’s a completeness it. Things are back to the way it should be.”

The penultimate edition of Birds of the Bow Valley features the mountain chickadee with its signature white eyebrow is indeed mainly found in mountain environments.

“I am really delighted to check in with the pulse of my hometown again to see how people, are and just express my gratitude for their support."

This week’s edition of Birds of the Bow Valley features the ruffed grouse, which is a species more often heard than seen.
