To explain my absence from blogging let me just say that the past several weeks have left me feeling a bit endangered...or perhaps better to say in danger - of a nervous collapse. Loads of hectic days (and nights) not to mention stress and sore feet as we worked frantically to get the Awareness and Discovery Center: An Exposition of the Poaching of Endangered Species ready for its big official re-opening tomorrow (May 27th). So much has gone into preparing this Exposition on the Poaching of Endangered Species...graphics, translations, scripts, recordings, building, painting, landscaping, electronic installation ... so much to be done! But thanks to a whole lot of effort on the part of a whole lot of people, we are ready to open the doors tomorrow at 11:30. The official ribbon-cutting honors will be carried out jointly by the regional director of the Wildlife Enforcement of Environment Canada together with the 3 mayors of Saint John, Rothesay and Quispamsis. Now there's a photo op that could illustrate regional cooperation.
Thank you everyone for your commitment on this project and belief in the importance of the local voice we provide on global issues such as this. It will be a proud day tomorrow at Cherry Brook Zoo. And we will all deserve to share with invited guests the BBQ lunch to follow with some of Shirley's famous homemade strawberry shortcake.
Be sure to come and visit the new display ...just look for the big red roof!
