New Owl Species Discovered by Insurance Brokerage in Waterloo Region

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KITCHENER, ON (April 1, 2024)  – Staebler Insurance is excited to announce the discovery of a rare, new species of owl in Kitchener’s Victoria Street and Coronet Lane area.

First spotted by an employee behind the company’s office at Staebler Place on March 27, Staebler officials jumped into action and alerted local wildlife experts who confirmed it’s a first of its kind discovery.

A Staebler employee shared their experience when they first noticed the new owl: “I was taken aback by the flecks of blue in the feathers and when I made eye contact with the owl, it stared back at me with piercing blue eyes,” said Yolande Charest, Vice President, Finance.

“I knew this bird was special, I immediately felt safe and protected in the presence of this owl.”

As discoverers of a new species, Staebler employees were granted the privilege to name the bird and unanimously chose the Great Wise Staeblerize Owl.
