The Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary

The Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary, 3 km (1.9 mi.) n. off Division Rd. and w. on Concession Rd. 3, covers 162 hectares (400 acres). Established in 1904 by conservationist Jack Miner, the sanctuary was the model for approximately 250 subsequent refuges in the United States. Thousands of migratory Canada geese and wild ducks can be seen during peak migration seasons.

The Sanctuary features the restored Jack Miner House, 5km of walking trails, a museum, feeding ponds and a viewing platform. Barley is provided free of charge so that visitors may feed the birds. Special events are held throughout the year.
