THANK YOU
We are disappointed to announce that the 2020 Brant Wildlife Festival has been cancelled, due to the public health concerns of COVID19.
We want to thank all the event organizers and volunteers, who worked incredibly hard to put on this festival. We also want to thank our sponsors, who kindly offered to support this year’s festival: The Beach Club Resort, City of Parksville. Mid Island Co-op and Town of Qualicum Beach.
We look forward to bringing you the 2021 Brant Wildlife Festival. See you next year!
