The University of the Fraser Valley Wildlife Protection Club, in collaboration with Nature Canada, is hosting a free showing of the documentary Toad People on Wednesday, Nov. 30.
The screening takes place from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Abbotsford campus. Kids are welcome.
Toad People tells the story of families and communities across B.C. that are taking action to save the wildlife in their backyard, including conservation efforts in the Fraser Valley.

Following the 50-minute film, there will be a buffet of snacks/refreshments and letter-writing stations set up where attendees can write messages to the prime minister expressing why Canada should protect more natural areas.
The messages will be collected by Nature Canada as part of their cross-country bus tour and delivered to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the UN Convention of Biodiversity (Nature COP) on Dec. 6.
A link to register for the event can be found on the “UFV’s Wildlife Protection Club” on Facebook.
