Lil will be accompanied by Bardie, a barred owl from the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre, who was rescued from a car accident and later deemed non-releasable due to her injuries. Bardie now serves as a wildlife ambassador and will appear with WHRC presenter Judy Robertson.
Admission is free with donations for the Wildlife Haven gratefully accepted.
If you miss the opportunity to see Lil at Aqua Books, she will be in Winnipeg again on Friday, March 5 for two more events.
At noon, she will read at the Millennium Library's Skywalk Lecture Series, and that evening she will be signing books at McNally Robinson Booksellers at Grant Park Shopping Centre from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
Lil Anderson spends every minute she can outdoors. When she is not working as a fish and wildlife technician for Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources, she and her husband Bruce Ranta rehabilitate woodland creatures on their Kenora-area property, known as Iggy's Wildlife Rehab Centre. Pond Memories is Lil's second book, following Beavers Eh to Bea. Teaching respect for her patients' non-human-ness, Lil shows that wild animals have their own ways of expressing emotions. Always mindful of the risk of imprinting on wildlife, Lil drives home the message that once helped and healed, they must return to their natural habitat.
