The Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary was started in 1904 when Jack decided to buy a few tame geese from the neighbour and place them in one of the ponds he created. Now it is a world-famous place for migratory Canadian geese and ducks.

In the spring and the fall, the grounds will be filled with birds passing through, using the sanctuary as a safe resting place for food, water, and shelter.

The Town of Kingsville celebrates the life and legacy of Jack Miner in an Annual Fall Migration Festival.
