CALGARY Mother Nature wasn t being very cooperative Friday on what should have been the relaunch of the Penguin Walk at the Calgary Zoo. Strong wind meant Friday s walk had to be cancelled. We have set specific weather parameters for the walk to ensure the birds’ safety and welfare, read a post on social media. We will resume the Penguin Walk when the parameters are met. We apologize for any inconvenience. The 15-minute daily walk starts at 10 a.m. at Penguin Plunge then loops to the Discovery Trail Bridge, and back up to the penguin habitat. The zoo s newest king penguin, a chick named Boudicca, hatched on July, 18, 2020 to mom Grace and and her penguin partner Solomon, will take part this year, along with more than a dozen birds.
