Hello ,
The Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area has been selected as a finalist for the Fido Evergreen Share Your Care campaign If we are one of the top 3 projects to receive votes we will win a share of prize money. You can vote at www.shareyourcare.ca. Then select the Promote Wildlife Education project for Calgary AB under the “All” tab. It seems you do need a facebook account to vote.

We only have 7 staff members so even if we all vote everyday (you can only vote once a day until August 14th) our chances are low for getting enough votes without your much needed support.
Thank you kindly in advance,
Laura Griffin
