Millarville Community Youth Pheasant Raise And Release Program

(Page 13)
The Loewen family and Sarcee Fish and Game Association collaborated back in 2003, to create a program which had the vision of enhancing the local pheasant population to the point where it sustains itself.
120 six week old pheasants are picked up every year at the end of June. They are looked after over the summer by families from the Millarville School and surrounding community. An amazing job was done by all the families involved with this program.
A special thank you to the entire Campbell family for allowing us continued use of the pen on their property. A big thanks also to the Boucher's for continued use of their water tank.
Millarville Community School and Sarcee Fish and Game Association continue to support and sponsor this wonderful endeavor.
Each volunteer family will release birds at their homes with the remaining birds being released at the school. This is your invitation to come and enjoy. Assembly starts shortly after 8:30am (not to be missed) with the release of the birds to follow, rain or shine.
WHERE: Millarville Community School Soccer Field
WHEN: Friday, September 10th at approximately 9:30 am after assembly, rain or shine.
