A parade celebrating environmental education

It’s a jungle out there – literally for participants of an animal themed parade.

“The Procession of Species” is an event designed to celebrate the natural world around us while creating a greater awareness about the environment.

Members of the animal kingdom made their way down King Street in Waterloo Saturday for the 4^th annual species walk.

It wasn’t all just lions and tigers leading the parade participants were encouraged to create a costume.

The procession started at Waterloo Public Square in Waterloo and made its way to Victoria Park in Kitchener.
