LETHBRIDGE, AB – Outdoors enthusiasts can once again enjoy the indoor exhibit experience at the Helen Schuler Nature Centre in Lethbridge.

After six months of temporary closure due to COVID-19 health measures in Alberta, the centre is reopening its indoor exhibit experience today, June 11.

For the first week of the reopening (June 11-17), the Nature Centre will be open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Beginning Friday, June 18, the centre will implement extended summer hours:

  • Sunday through Thursday – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • Friday and Saturday – 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.

On display in the Main Gallery is a brand new exhibit called ‘Built for Life on the Prairie’. It celebrates wildlife of the grasslands. The exhibit provides an inside look at how remarkable grassland species not only survive, but thrive in one of the planet’s most extreme and open environments.

On display in the Community Art Gallery is ‘Landscaping Wilderness’, a fine art installation by Elaine Henderson. It features the beauty of nature’s landscapes with imagination in a mix of media and colour pallets.

Admission to the Helen Schuler Nature Centre is by donation. More details are available here.
