DetailsCos'è
In 2003 wildlife biologist Karsten Heuer and his filmmaker wife, Leanne Allison, set off on a trek of epic proportions. For the next five months they skied and walked alongside the 123,000-member Porcupine Caribou Herd from their Yukon winter range to Alaskan calving grounds and back. The couple's mission? To give the caribou a voice in the decades-old debate of whether or not to develop their 27,000-year-old calving grounds for oil. This is more than a story of river crossings, Arctic blizzards, hungry grizzly bears, and swarms of mosquitoes. It is the story of a newlywed couple transformed by the experience of surrendering to thousands of wild animals in one of the biggest ecosystems in the world.

Join Karsten Heuer for an evening lecture on the latest knowledge on Arctic issues and their impact on both the northern and southern Canadian populations. The evening will include special presentations, contests, and International Polar Year related booths and displays.
