Explore Kenya
The Pitt Meadows library is inviting everyone to come and spend an afternoon exploring Kenya through photos taken by photojournalist John Gordon.
The event is on Saturday, from 2 to 3 p.m. Visitors are encouraged to come and graphically explore Kenya’s Rift Valley and Lake Nakuru, which is home to thousands of flamingos.
Gordon will share stories of his adventures and will display photos taken at Samburu National Reserve, the hills of Mount Kenya, the Aberdare Reserve, and the world famous Masai Mara National Reserve. Although the event is free, registration is required.
