Wildlife behaviour is changing too. Many species are preparing for migration or hibernation, some are in the process of or getting ready to mate, and most are taking every opportunity to feast on fall’s bounty as they prepare for the winter months ahead.
Local Riders’ Fundraising a Success
Anarchist Mountain Rollers raised over $10,000 for Canada’s Great Cycle Challenge, which raises funds to help fight kids’ cancer through the SickKids Foundation.
