Transforming the Harry J. Enns Wetland Discovery Centre: A Hub for Education and Conservation

We are excited to announce the public phase of the fundraising campaign for the Harry J. Enns Wetland Discovery Centre at Oak Hammock Marsh. With almost 75% of the required funds already raised, we are inviting the community to join us in this final stretch to secure the remaining $2 million needed to complete this project. 

The renewed Wetland Discovery Centre will offer visitors an unparalleled experience with new interactive exhibits, enhanced accessibility features, and a commitment to energy efficiency.  

With the lion share of our goal already achieved, we are now inviting the public to join us in raising the final $2 million needed to complete this remarkable renewal.  

Supported by provincial investment, contributions from private organizations and donors, as well as significant federal investment, the upgrades will enhance the Centre’s facilities, making it a leading destination for conservation education and eco-tourism.
