  This is a hands-on class where you can also learn a little history.  Did you know that during the space race and the Vietnam war, the “wonder product” super glue was brought to the general public’s attention?  Join our resident glue expert, Ivor Hewitt, as we learn how super glue was invented and how it really works.  We will explore case histories where this glue is used today in modern technology.  You are invited to bring along any broken items of your own which we will attempt to fix during the session.  If we cannot fix your items on the spot, arrangements will be made for follow up.  Be prepared for a fun and useful event.

  Hearing health plays a vital role in keeping us connected to the people and moments that matter most. In this presentation, we’ll explore why hearing loss often goes unnoticed, how it impacts communication, brain health, overall well-being, and what steps you can take to protect your hearing. We’ll discuss common signs of hearing loss, the benefits of early detection, and how modern hearing technology can make a difference in day-to-day life. After the presentation, we’ll be offering complimentary hearing screeners with the Ears to You mobile clinic so you can get a quick snapshot of your current hearing thresholds. These screeners are simple, painless, and a great first step toward better hearing. The goal is to empower you with knowledge so you can make confident decisions about your hearing health.

  The future of the Arctic is a topic often at the forefront of Canadian politics. Beyond Canadian sovereignty, are the people who live there and the enduring nature of this northern land. This two-part presentation will introduce you to a solid foundation about the Canadian Arctic and its peoples.  The first part will be a description of the peoples, their history, their culture and early contact experience.  The second part will be an examination of communities today, the present economy, arctic neighbours, and effects of climate change.

  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.

  The Pantanal, famously known as the Flooded Forest, is the largest undisturbed wetland in the world. There are only two roads but rivers provide almost unlimited access. Travel by small boat with a local guide reveals a hard to believe diversity of birds and other wildlife all of which, for the most part, ignores the boat and allows unmatched photographic opportunities.
