When:
Mar 31, 2012
- Apr 1 , 2012
Where: Lakeside Drive and Morenz Drive, Stratford Ontario, Canada
|
Twice a year, in the autumn and spring there is a direct connection between the man and the exotic birds of Stratford. The first takes place when the Swans are moved to winter quarters in order to protect them from the low temperature of winter, and the second and more beautiful one, takes place when the Swans are freed from the shelter in start spring.
The marvelous noisy parade of the birds marching toward Avon River is a sight of only once a year. This is a great experience for the whole family.

Canada -
background and overview:
A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. Canada also faces questions about integrity in government following revelations regarding a corruption scandal in the federal government that has helped revive the fortunes of separatists in predominantly francophone Quebec.
