CHRISTMAS AT PRESQU’ILE ARTS AND CRAFTS SHOW
One of our major fund-raisers, this Show has become among the most popular pre-Christmas events in Eastern Ontario.  Held at the beginning of November, several thousand shoppers and visitors come to Presqu’ile Provincial Park to experience the magical wonders of our Show.  Christmas at Presqu’ile Juried Arts and Crafts Show has earned the reputation of being a unique showcase for the talents of many artists and artisans from southern Ontario.

WATERFOWL WEEKENDS
Each year thousands of people are attracted to Presqu’ile during the March/April migration to view thousands of in-transit waterfowl.  Volunteers help visitors identify the many species.

WARBLERS AND WHIMBRELS WEEKEND
Scheduled to take advantage of this later wave of migrants, this weekend has a number of events designed to help people to identify and appreciate our many migrants.

MONARCHS AND MIGRANTS WEEKEND
Bird banders demonstrate the catching and banding of birds and Monarch Butterflies are tagged and released.  Walks are organized to look for migrating birds, butterflies and dragonflies.

RAFFLES
We run a number of different raffles throughout the year to support our various projects.  Telephone 613 475 1688 for information and tickets.  We will be posting information about our 2012 Mountain Bike and Camping Package Raffle soon. 

SUMMER BARBEQUES
