Ducks Unlimited Canada is spearheading an initiative to create an Interpretive Centre at Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park. Recent meetings with provincial ministers and St. Albert officials have laid the groundwork, but the centre's location and composition remain to be finalized. In early 2007, Ducks Unlimited will host a stakeholder meeting to gather public input. Key considerations include the preservation of ecologically sensitive areas, public access, and potential locations such as Rotary Park and the North Shore. Feedback from the community will help shape the centre's offerings, including nature exhibits and educational trails.
