• We are still not certain of the future of this
  owl. (This PowerPoint was created on February 28,

  mentioned, sending this to 25 other people could
  mean the difference between life

• and death for this owl, so please send this!
• West Dalhousie School is working hard, and if
  this reaches another school, I hope they will
  take the challenge up.
