The Vermilion Public Library held a ‘Fur, Feathers, and Fun’ program in front of the Vermilion Heritage Museum on August 18, for children ages 5 to 12. Under sunny skies, the children and adults had the opportunity to handle
bones and furs, participate in animalthemed crafts such as painting rocks with a bird theme, visit inside the museum, observe traps that were used in the trapping industry for beavers, minks, and otters etc. They were also able to look at traps used by Alberta Fish and Wildlife Service to capture nuisance animals
such as bears (some children even had the opportunity to go inside a bear trap). A story by Nicholas Oldland titled ‘A Walk on the Wild’ was read by Program Coordinator Shelia Heit, while her volunteers Gar y Walsh (Vermilion River Watershed Alliance Alumni), Mitchell Visser (District Fish and Wildlife Officer),
