January program

All right! January is nearly finished. I have sent everyone an email regarding the upcoming meeting, and have an update: I have picked up the skis! So we have a number of different sizes of skis, poles and boots.

If you didn't get the email, the most important points were these:

• If you have your own skis and boots, please bring them along to the meeting! This includes both kids and any adults who are planning to ski.
• Please let me know either by email or by commenting on this entry if you are planning to be at the meeting, or if you know for sure that you will not be able to join us this month.
• If you are planning to come and use our skis, please let me know shoe sizes so that we can attempt to get enough boots of proper sizes. Just leave a comment on this entry by following the link at the end of the entry.
• Remember to dress warmly! It is supposed to be chilly, and we are going to be outside for most of the meeting. Extra socks are always a good idea.

Thanks everyone! We'll see you at the Nature Centre!

Summer Jobs in Algonquin Provincial Park

Hi all Young Nats

The following is a message I received from Ontario Nature about summer jobs in Algonquin Provincial Park. If any of the Young Naturalists have older brothers, sisters or friends who might be interested in working in Algonquin Provincial Park please let them know about this website.

My name is Justin and I work at Algonquin Provincial Park as a Park Naturalist. You may have received a letter from me last year, informing you of summer jobs for keen naturalists in high school, college or university. We are once again looking to hire talented and enthusiastic naturalists to join our team as Seasonal Park Naturalists in summer 2009 (they should be at least 16 by June 2009). I would be most grateful if you could share this information as well as the attached job poster with anyone you know that you think would appreciate it. For more information, you can visit our seasonal employment website: http://www.algonquinpark.on.ca/news/jobs2009.html. Thanks for your attention and thanks in advance for your assistance!
