“National Wildlife Week” is celebrated in all parts of the world. In Canada it was created in the memory of Jack Miner to create awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation in Canada. Jack Miner was an environmentalist and a well-known wildlife conservationist, who has been heralded as being a key player in saving Canada Geese from extinction.
