Tonight the Royal Saskatchewan Museum is hosting Polar Perspectives, a dynamic national series of public education programs focused on International Polar Year.
This series is presented in partnership by the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, the Alliance of Natural History Museums of Canada and Students On Ice. The goal is to raise awareness about Arctic issues such as the impacts of climate change on the environment, health, Inuit culture and sovereignty.
The three speakers for the evening lecture are: BJ Bodnar, Saskatchewan Polar Explorer; Geoff Green, Canadian adventurer, environmentalist and educator who, for the past 15 years, has been leading expeditions and adventures from pole to pole; and Elizabeth Peacock from the Government of Nunavut, whose latest project is Polar Ecosystems in Transition: An Interdisciplinary Case Study of the Effects of Climate Change on Polar Bears.
"The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to support the Royal Saskatchewan Museum's partnership endeavours with the Alliance of Natural History Museums of Canada," Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Christine Tell said. "We are extremely proud to have a Saskatchewan student, who is a Students On Ice scholarship recipient and has traveled to the Canadian and Russian north, to share his scientific adventures at the evening event."
In addition to the free evening lecture, there is an all-day youth forum for secondary school students. The forum is a national opportunity for the students to meet peers, educators and scientists with a common interest. Participants will have the opportunity to explore and discuss issues regarding health, culture, climate change, conservation, sovereignty and indigenous rights, how they are affecting the polar regions, and how they affect us.
"Polar Perspectives is bringing people together with scientists, environmentalists, authors, filmmakers and activists," Students on Ice founder and director Geoff Green said. "It will challenge people to think about real and immediate concerns, about the impact that their own actions are having and how they can make a difference. It will leave an International Polar Year legacy."
The public is invited to attend the free evening lecture and have an opportunity to meet the new polar explorers. For more information please visit our website www.royalsaskmuseum.ca.
