  Would you like to explore one of Richmond’s most treasured landmarks? Join us for a special field trip to the Buddhist Temple on Steveston Highway, celebrated as the most authentic example of traditional Chinese architecture in North America. We'll enjoy a half-hour guided tour of the temple’s serene interior, adorned with sculptures and paintings. Then take time to wander through the classical Chinese garden, where bonsai, fountains, gazebos, and rock landscapes create a peaceful setting.
  
  The tour includes lunch at the Temple’s restaurant A Taste of Zen, described as “healthy gourmet vegetarian dining in an exquisite setting inspired by Chinese meditation and Buddhist arts.” 
  
  

  Note:  The charter bus will depart at noon from ElderCollege and return around 3:00.

  Make your way to OWL and join us for a guided tour of Delta’s own OWL (orphaned wildlife) rehabilitation centre and learn about raptors.  You will have the opportunity to see 14 different species of prey that are permanent residents at OWL due to injuries that inhibit their survival in the wild, as well as “Sarah”, their resident barn owl.  You will learn about the function of the OWL Society, the basic biology and behaviour of different types of raptors, the dangers they endure and what you can do to help them.

  
  Notes: The event happens rain or shine and involves some walking around on mostly level ground.  Wear appropriate clothing and footwear.  Students will have to provide their own transportation to OWL, there is a gravel parking lot. We can help facilitate car-pooling if requested.
