The 2001 poster depicts the Black-tailed Prairie Dog. To find info about these community oriented fellows, contact the Canadian Wildlife Federation.
A request for submissions was sent to all schools in the English and French school boards in Ottawa-Carleton.
	Barbara Campbell of the Canadian Wildlife Service of Environment Canada has coordinated this event for the seventh year
Approximately 350 children from 8 schools were bused to the Canadian Museum of Nature to tour the museum and enjoy a presentation by Marcel Gahbauer of the Canadian Peregrine Foundation. These children from Grades 1 through 8 were the classmates of the winners of the Poster Contest, in which 320 students from 23 schools participated.
Certificates and prizes were given to the children and the $100 gift certificate was received on behalf of the school from Joe Dafoe's Museum Boutique.
The winning posters were displayed at the event and at the Wildlife Awareness Event at the Carlingwood Shopping Centre. Scotty, the Scholar's Choice Mascot, visited to help with the presentations.
The children learned from Marcel Gahbauer of the Peregrine Falcon Association the ways in which this organization and the interested public are helping the falcons survive.
Children are encouraged to enter the poster contest to enlighten them as to the needs of wildlife and how they can help.
