Brandon becomes 1st Bee City in Manitoba

 On May 14th the City of Brandon received official designation from Bee City Canada as the first Bee City in Manitoba! A Bee City promotes pollinator diversity and the benefit of using native plants in habitat restoration.  The comittee will be looking at completing a city-wide pollinator friendly habitat assessment to identify where habitat needs to be improved. The committee held their first educational event at Eco Day in May teaching the public how to make bee houses. The City of Brandon has proclaimed Pollinator week June 17-23rd.
