Upcoming Lectures

Join journalist and mariner Sara Donnelly for a fascinating conversation about her new book Seagoing Women: At Work. The book is a compelling collection of stories celebrating thirty-three women who have built extraordinary careers on the water.

Plan your next “staycation” with historian Jeanette Taylor as she presents an illustrated talk about north Vancouver Island’s heritage sites. She brings a wealth of experience to her subject, from writing local history to guided boat tours and her former role as a curator with the Museum at Campbell River.

Wild Bears of Canada explores the lives of Canada’s grizzlies, black bears and polar bears through field photography and the nuanced observations of a career nature guide. Edward Savage has spent fifteen years watching bears across some of the country’s most remote terrain— and for many of the bears in this book, that relationship spans over a decade.
