Winnipeg workshop to promote positive human-goose interaction

While Canada geese may be majestic birds, they are not known for being friendly, and an upcoming Winnipeg activity will help humans to interact with these large creatures safely.

The Honk if You Love Safety! session will teach people how they can be safe around Canada geese, which have a reputation for being quite aggressive. The session will run for one hour, and the facilitator for the activity will be a staff naturalist from FortWhyte Alive.

The workshop, which will be held at the Ecole Regent Park Library, will introduce this goose species and its life cycle. The attendees will learn how to interpret their communication cues, and the function is intended to be fun while also offering practical tips that can make life easier for geese and people alike. There will be time to ask questions, and the tickets for the occasion are $20.00 each.

Learning how to interact positively with wildlife can be an important part of good environmental stewardship. A flyer printing company will be able to help get the word out about sessions like this one.

The Honk if You Love Safety! session will provide an introduction to the art and science of getting along with Canada geese on March 13th. Registration for the activity can be completed on the FortWhyte Alive website, and the session will begin at 7:00 pm at the River East Transcona School Division at Ecole Regent Park Library.
