Thank you Duck and Run 2024 participants and donors!

On June 22 and 23, over 600 runners, walkers, rollers and waddlers from across Canada laced up to run for wetlands, sharing a beautiful day in nature with their Ducks Unlimited Canada community. Our donors and participants raised $44,800 this year – important funds that will help fuel our conservation mission. Thank you all for your incredible efforts!
