Robert Bateman Get to Know Program: The Magnetic Hill Zoo is an active partner in the Robert Bateman Get to Know Program. The Zoo is one of the Atlantic Canadian Launch sites, and has hosted the Atlantic Canadian Celebration/Awards Ceremony on behalf of the national contest for the past few years. The Magnetic Hill Zoo shares the same philosophy as the Get to Know Program and is delighted in joining Mr. Robert Bateman in promoting environmental stewardship to the youth of Atlantic Canada. The Magnetic Hill Zoo encourages Atlantic Canadian youth to let their creativity "go wild" and enter the Robert Bateman Get to Know Contest!
