Fleming Bird Conservation Committee
In an ongoing effort to promote advocacy and initiative on an international landscape, strengthening the preservation of North American bird populations via campus survey's, window mitigation, interactive workshops, and acclaimed events, the Frost Student Association is pleased to collaborate with the Fleming Bird Conservation Committee (FBCC). Composed of students, faculty, and college representatives, with the support of the Kawartha Lakes and surrounding community, and in alignment with the ethos of Fleming College, the FBCC readily strives to accomplish its objectives in maintaining Frost Campus as a bird-friendly haven, the first college in Ontario to be accredited with the designation.
