Manitoba groups mark Seton Centre anniversary with grant
A Winnipeg joint celebration between the Seton Centre and the Manitoba Naturalist Society marked the 100th anniversary of Seton Centre's first province naturalist appointment. A $15,000 grant from the Manitoba Department of Natural Resources was announced, with plans for winter exhibits and programs.
