Super Saturdays at the Fraser River Discovery Centre!

The Fraser River Discovery Centre, located in Downtown New Westminster, is excited to present its next edition of the ongoing 'Super Saturdays' family program, taking place on Saturday, May 28th from 10am – 4pm. From gulls to sandpipers, whimbrels to plovers, there is an incredible variety of shorebirds that frequent the Fraser estuary throughout the year. As they migrate up the Pacific Flyway, these birds rely on the Estuary for food and shelter, and have helped shape its incredible biodiversity that we enjoy today! Discover more about these birds and how they survive in this month’s Super Saturday! Learn some of the names of the Estuary’s bird species, the distances many of them have to fly each year, and how they are uniquely adapted for life along the Pacific Coast. Discover how different birds prefer different types of food along the shoreline in our bird beak challenge – use provided tools to grip and grasp objects of different shapes and sizes and figure out what works best! COVID-19 safety protocols are in effect, and pre-registration is required. Pre-registration includes paid admission to the Discovery Center. Pay online when you register and explore our galleries after the activity! No charge for Annual Members.
