The Centre

Wrigley Corners is a retrofitted two-room school that has been used as an Outdoor and Environmental Education Centre (OEEC) for the last thirty years by the Waterloo Region District School Board. The two acres surrounding the Building have been naturalized into grassland, pond and forest habitats, making it a diverse living classroom.

Wrigley Corners

At Wrigley Corners, we band birds, feed chickadees, run simulation activities and explore the ecology of our local environment. We have some of the region’s greatest biodiversity and most spectacular scenery on our doorstep. It is just waiting to be experienced by another generation of students.

The Staff

The Centre is staffed by Outdoor and Environmental Education Specialist, Levi Moore (BES, M.Sc.).

Levi has spent considerable time in the field, working as a Wildlife Biologist, enjoys bringing this experience to the activities offered at Wrigley Corners and is a huge fan of citizen science!

Programs

We offer a wide variety of in-person field trips at our centre.  Requests for field trips are taken in June for the following year.  We have a variety of virtual programs that are available upon request but priority is given to in person trips to maximize the use of our site.

Location

2366 Spragues Rd., Ayr Ontario, N0B 1E0

The centre is located about 10 minutes south of Cambridge along Spragues Rd., halfway to Paris. Because the site has limited natural amenities, we use many local public properties for our programs.
