Summer Solstice Surprise

The Sun is essential for life on Earth, providing the energy necessary for photosynthesis, regulating climate, and sustaining ecosystems around the Fraser River! Learn about when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky by making a sundial and creating nature sun prints! This month, we are headed to Deas Island Regional Park, located in Delta, to learn all about the power of the Sun during the summer solstice!
