Things calm down at this time of year but there’s lots going on under the surface! Peek into the hidden happenings of winter where some species slow down… and others are hard at work! 

Please note that the Centre is closed on December 25th and January 1st. 

WHAT: 

• Dec 23rd – Jan 7th: 
  • Create a drawing of your winter wish and it might be turned into a light display in the FRDC’s front window! 
  • Drop in for a seasonal tale and an activity with storytime every day between 1pm-3pm.
  • Delve into the “subnivean secrets” of life under the snow with self-guided activities throughout the building.  

• Dec 23rd – Dec 31st: To move or not to move? – Snow isn’t guaranteed in the Lower Mainland in December and the temperature has a big impact on how some species get around. Test your ability to “adapt” to different scenarios to see how you fare! 
• Jan 2nd – Jan 7th: Evergreen Introductions – Winter is the time to shine for coniferous trees. Learn how they’re able to survive temperature changes at this time of year and what all those deciduous species are up to!
