About this Event
Join us in Ottawa to celebrate Global Butterfly Week with a fun, family-friendly activity focused on butterflies and conservation. Children will learn about the importance of butterflies, their role in nature, and how we can help protect them. The event will include a butterfly-themed treasure hunt, simple educational activities, and the opportunity to observe butterflies closely in a respectful and safe way.
All minors must be accompanied by an adult. As this activity takes place in nature, we kindly ask families to be respectful of butterflies and their habitat. Please help ensure that children do not catch, handle, or disturb butterflies, other insects, or flowers unless guided by the organizers. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes and shoes, bring water, and dress according to the weather. No previous knowledge is needed—just curiosity and enthusiasm for nature!
