Join fellow U of T Alumni and friends for an exclusive tour at one of Canada's premier birding destinations
Hosted by the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering, Faculty of Arts & Science, Temerty Faculty of Medicine, and U of T Mississauga.
Join fellow U of T alumni and friends at Point Pelee National Park during peak bird migration season. Led by experienced guides carefully selected by the Friends of Point Pelee, these tours offer expert insight in to the park's unique ecosystems and the remarkable diversity of songbirds passing through. With most Friends of Point Pelee tours already sold out, U of T Alumni is pleased to offer graduates access to this in-demand experience. The hike difficulty is rated at an easy level but not recommended for mobility devices.
U of T representative, Teo Salgado (HBA 1997 UTM), will be there to welcome you.
Register now to secure your spot. We look forward to seeing you there!
