Monarch Ultra

At the December 18 meeting, Council received a presentation from Carl Wright on the Monarch Ultra. The Monarch Ultra is a 4300 km relay run following the migratory path of monarch butterflies from Peterborough, Ontario to the Sierra Madre Mountains in Mexico. Carl participated in the relay in September 2019 and shared his experience of running segments of the race. The relay takes place over 47 days and aims to raise awareness of the decline of the monarch butterfly.
