 Brant Wildlife Children’s Festival

 This public event is hosted by Arrowview Elementary students and teachers along with the Qualicum Beach Streamkeepers.

The festival brings together our community’s passion for collaboration and the environment, featuring displays by students of all ages, and by 25 different Vancouver Island groups, including the Qualicum Beach Museum! 

By bridging the gap between classrooms and the community, we can foster a collective sense of responsibility for the environment and inspire a devotion for preserving nature. We hope to see you there!

Friday, April 5th, 2024, 2:30 – 4:30 p.m. at Arrowview Elementary School, 650 Bennett Road
