This globally significant Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA) was designed to be a key migratory habitat and waterfowl-breeding centre, where migratory birds – some of which traverse as far as the Arctic and South America – make it their summer home. Their interactive, acclaimed Bird in the Hand Canadian Signature Experience will have you literally feeling tiny feathers flutter in the palm of your hand before releasing a newly banded songbird back into the wild (all part of important migratory research). The experience also takes groups out into the wetlands on large voyageur canoes where the smell of blooming wildflowers and close encounters with colourful birds perched atop cattails are all on the agenda. oakhammockmarsh.ca – 1.888.50.62774 The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) is an award-winning architectural marvel that takes visitors on a journey through the evolution, celebration and future of human rights. The CMHR offers numerous group tours, including the Mikinak-Keya Spirit Tour, which brings the ancient teachings of Turtle Island (North America) into the Museum. This cultural experience presents an Indigenous perspective on rights and responsibilities while unveiling the powerful connection between First Nations' sacred knowledge and the Museum's architecture. Inspired by ceremony and traditions, created after consultations with Indigenous elders and led by Indigenous guides, this tour offers unique insight into the seven sacred teachings, which call on us to take responsibility for how we live and treat each other. humanrights.ca – 1.877.877.6037 T E A C H I N G S Turtle Island
