The Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club hosts a Soiree each April, where members can meet and mingle, display their art work, set up exhibits for various projects, such as the Peregrine Falcon watch, view the work done by the junior field naturalists in the Macoun Club, and of course, honour the award winners, members chosen for their exceptional work in conservation, natural history, education, and or service to the club.
