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.

Le Nichoir has embarked on the most important project in the history of wild bird conservation: the construction of a new conservation centre.
