Ducks Unlimited fundraising supper in Carseland

Times Contributor

 

The Carseland Chapter of Ducks Unlimited Canada will be having their fundraising banquet and silent auction at the Carseland Community Centre on Fe. 25.

Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) has been committed to wetland conservation for more than 70 years. Despite this, wetland loss continues across Canada. Up to 70 per cent of wetlands have disappeared in settled areas of the country.

DUC is a national, private, non-profit organization which is committed to conserving Canada’s wetlands. It’s a responsibility DUC does not take lightly.

DUC’s conservation efforts take many forms. On-the-ground work is guided by the wetland and waterfowl research of DUC’s scientists. DUC works to change policy in favor of wetland and habitat conservation. DUC also delivers wetland and environmental education programs to teach Canadians about wetlands and the need to conserve them.

As a non-profit organization, DUC relies on the support of Canadians from across the country. DUC’s dedicated volunteers, members and staff work very hard to help DUC in achieving its conservation mission and vision.

For more information about the event in Carseland please contact Adrian Knaus at (403)901-0447 or email at aknaus1@hotmail.com. Tickets for the banquet are still available $40 for a single and $340 for a table of eight (which includes a gift). Cocktails start at 5:30 p.m. with dinner, raffles and live auction to follow.

Please come out and help Ducks Unlimited Canada conserve our wetlands.
