This year’s Camrose Purple Martin Festival will be held on
Saturday, June 15, 2019 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Stoney Creek Centre, 5320-39 Avenue, Camrose. Each year, the seminars, displays, speakers and interaction with experts in the field allow additional people to enjoy the fascinating hobby of attracting and caring for purple martins. In addition to knowledge conveyed specific to purple martins, this year’s organizing committee is thrilled to welcome Lu Carbyn, a retired wildlife biologist, who will talk about the perils of bird migration; and Dr. Dorothy Hill, a biology professor from Mount Royal University, who will inform and enlighten on the topic of bird ecology.
