The Canadian Peregrine Foundation

In February 2002, we visited London's C.C. Carrothers Public School with our male peregrine falcon "Oscar". Below are some letters the students wrote to our sponsors after the visit, and a drawing from another student:

Dear Friends of the Environment,

I wanted to thank all the people who helped to sponsor the peregrine falcons. I enjoyed the presentation at our school. Also it was cool to get to see Oscar.

I think that we are lucky to be one of the schools in London to get to have the presentation at our school. The things that I liked about the presentation are that we got to see a peregrine falcon and I learned a lot of things like they have amazing eyesight.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Samantha

Dear TD Canada Trust,

I liked the presentation that the Canadian Peregrine Foundation did for us yesterday. I think the peregrine falcon is cool and I really don't want them to extinct. I hope that soon the population would be high again. yesterday when I saw Oscar I thought peregrines were really cool. I would be happy to help anytime. I hope we can see baby peregrine falcons too.

Sincerely,

Jerome

Dear Sponsor,

Thank you so much for the presentation the Canadian Peregrine Foundation gave us because I really liked it. Also thank you for saving all of those beautiful peregrine falcons. I really liked the facts that you told us like how the peregrine falcons used to be represented as a god in Ancient Egyptian times. We were studying Ancient Egypt just in January. Oscar is a very beautiful bird. I am sure he will make a very good father. he is very calm and very well behaved. Again, THANK YOU!

Sincerely,

Alycia
