Be part of nature in the city and visit the ducks of Devonian Pond - located in the heart of the Ryerson University campus. For one night only, the live ducks that traditionally visit the pond will be replaced by hundreds of environmentally friendly man-made ducks - bedazzled with light and playfullly moving throughout the water.

Adventurous and more serious duck enthusiasts can try their hand at 'hunting' specially marked ducks behind an unusually equipped duck blind. Just how far has the man/nature discourse really come? Even if you aren't a hunter, this will definitely be a supernatural urban experience.
