In April 2002 we visited Central Public School in Cornwall with our female peregrine falcon "Qetesh". Below are some comments from the teachers:
The Grade 4 classes greatly enjoyed the Canadian Peregrine
presentation. They found the presenter was well-informed and this
certainly enhanced their in-class Life Systems studies. They were
definitely "spellbound", both by his expertise and by the presence of
a live peregrine falcon. The funding of this presentation by the T.D.
Canada Trust - Friends of the Environment was money wisely spent and very much
appreciated.

My students had the opportunity to attend a very special
presentation about the peregrine falcon. We learned severeal facts about
the peregrine, the reasons why the came very close to extinction and the effort
made by the members of the Canadian Peregrine Foundation to ensure the survival
of this species.
The presenter was very knowledgeable and he very successfully kept everyone's
attention for close to an hour on a Friday afternoon. This, in itself, is
undeniable proof that the presentation was very commendable and most
interesting. A sincere "thank you" to the TD Canada Trust -
Friends of the Environment Foundation for providing the funding necessary to
enable the presenter to deliver this worthwhile program in our school.

A very interesting presentation - informative. The information was geared
to the students who were able to understand the subject matter. It was a
give-and-take presentation. The students were able to ask questions and
comment on the information. Having a live falcon was a bonus. It
made the presentation more visible and they were able to see what the presenter
was talking about.
