For The Birds

Musical train ride

The 12 th annual dinner and auction in aid of Le Nichoir, a songbird sanctuary in Hudson, will be held April 2 at the Chateau Vaudreuil in Vaudreuil-Dorion. Contact Susan Wylie at (450) 458-2809 or info@lenichoir.org, or visit www.lenichoir.org. Le Nichoir has become the largest songbird rehabilitation centre in Canada. In 2010, the centre admitted over 1,385 injured wild birds, including threatened species, responded to thousands of calls and e-emails. Le Nichoir has embarked on the most important project in the history of wild bird conservation: the construction of a new conservation centre.
