• Feather Light Bones – Hollow bones weigh less than half the weight of the eagles 7,000 feathers.
• Designer Feet – Large, strong feet have tiny spikes that grip slippery fish.
• Flight Control – Tail feather can be tilted or spread to function as a rudder or brake.

Volunteer Interpreter Program

Volunteer interpreters share their knowledge and love of bald eagles with people from around the world. This program is a wonderful way to learn about bald eagles, meet interesting people and have fun.

To learn more about becoming a volunteer this year, see the training day event.

District Council is asking the Community for comments and feedback on these two issues:

1. Sustainability Block - The Sustainability Block project proposes that a specific block (or cross-section of blocks) be redeveloped as a showcase of design innovations for streetscapes, landscapes, and technologies.
2. "Proposed joint-venture run of river hydro-electric project" tell us what you think about the possibility of Squamish partnering on a Community Power Project.

The 2008 Annual Report will also be available to the public.
