The Trumpeter Swan Festival, hosted by Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society, lets you get up close and personal with these beautiful birds that we are so privileged to have wintering here. We have secured the use of a bus from First Student Canada and will be having three free swan viewing bus tours led by an expert from the Comox Valley Naturalists.
