🎄🥜An update on Red the Christmas Squirrel!🥜🎄

From Rene, "Hi everyone, here's an update on Red. So the live catch finally worked, with two-sided masking tape holding the peanuts in place so she really had to pull. I then transported her to the Bluewater Outdoor Ed Centre and released her near the barn, feeling rather guilty, I must say, and a little sad. She was really cute. Yesterday I had to attend the Centre for another matter, and I called her, and surprisingly, she came!! She ran along the fence looking at me as I walked from the classroom building to the main one. She was bouncing along and looked very happy.

I later spoke to the kind custodian about Red, and he said she liked the birdfeeders (oh, I know that!). He then added, "Don't worry about her; she will be fine and make friends with the other squirrels in the barn." awwww

Today I found a peanut under a pillow in my room. I think a little thank-you gift from Red. :) Have a very Merry Red Christmas"

This is a very non-grinchy offering! Thanks Heritage Place Shopping Centre 💚🎄

💚🎄 Silent Grinch Sneak-In at Heritage Place! 🎄💚

Tiptoe into a Grinch-approved quiet zone! For this special sensory-friendly event, the lights will be dimmed, the music turned off, and the shopping centre locked down tight so the Grinch can enjoy a calm, cozy visit with those who prefer a softer holiday experience.

This is a reservation-only event — so don’t be a Grinch… register ahead of time! 😉

A little quieter. A little greener. A whole lot of festive fun. 💚

🎄Some Christmas Cheer - Rene, our Director at Blackbear Clinic, who is also a Director with the Bluewater Education Foundation outdoor education centre, has a temporary uninvited guest in her home. A festive Red Squirrel who is obviously a fan of Christmas! Seen here heading to the tree, climbing into the tree and peeking out (next to the blue bell) and at the bottom, apparently kissing Santa! We hope you enjoy and be reassured, we have a live trap set to a aid in a safe relocation. Maybe the Outdoor Ed Centre?! A friendly fellow who so far has been very adept at removing two of the peanuts and not getting caught! 🎄
