Spring is often the season when teas are held -- whether in honour of Easter or Mother’s Day, or to celebrate the season in general.

Hazel M. Kellington Elementary School’s (HMK) “On the Go” program from Oak Hammock Marsh was a big hit again this year, despite a snowstorm in late March that delayed some of the classes’ presentations. The program saw guest nature interpreters from the Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Centre, located 20 kilometres north of Winnipeg, teach and interact with the grade school children and explain to them the importance of wetlands.
