10 February 2017 – Last month, Bird Studies Canada's President Steven Price and Québec Program Manager Andrew Coughlan travelled to Montréal to help launch Bird Protection Quebec's centennial celebrations. Steven gave the first of the society's 100th Anniversary Lectures. Speaking to a packed house, he highlighted bird conservation successes of the last century, as well as future challenges. He also emphasized the importance of forging strong international collaborations, as many declining species that breed in Canada spend the majority of their lives elsewhere in the Americas. After a toast to the future success of BPQ and bird conservation efforts in Québec, Steven and Andrew seized the opportunity to meet and thank many Bird Studies Canada members and program participants.
You can learn about the first 100 years of BPQ in the latest issue of BirdWatch Canada. Details of the society's celebratory activities are available on their website.
