BIRD FRIENDLY CITY
Started in 2019, Nature Canada has been leading a Bird Friendly City program to help cities and towns across Canada become bird-friendly. This includes a list of actions that a city can take, building on three pillars: addressing threats, restoring nature, and educating and mobilizing citizens. There are three levels of certification as a Bird Friendly City based on the number of actions taken. Regina was certified at the entry level as Canada’s 5th Bird Friendly City in 2022. In 2024, the Black-capped Chickadee was crowned Regina’s official city bird.
Volunteers are needed to join the Regina Bird Friendly City team. BFC team members will collaboratively identify Bird Friendly City criteria currently in place in Regina, and priority action items that need to be addressed. Members can then choose action items to support and campaign around.
If you are interested in volunteering for the BFC team, please complete the Volunteer Sign -Up form.
