Special Events

Join us for a screening of Animal Nation – Caribou. In the Northwest Territories, researchers brave the barren lands to study caribou, using traditional knowledge to seek solutions to their decline. In Quebec, Innu mentors teach youth about their sacred bond with the boreal caribou, a species in crisis.

This film is appropriate for all ages.

Join us for an evening that blends presentation and conversation as we welcome Evergreen Memorial’s Family Service Directors Samantha Berard and Rebekah David. This death cafe-style event explores how we commemorate our loved one, and invites you to consider what you may want done with your body when you reach life’s inevitable conclusion.

This event is recommended for age 16+.

Join us for a screening of Animal Nation – Bear, in which the Ktunaxa highlight their deep spiritual connection to grizzly bears through research, conservation and efforts to protect their sacred habitat.

This film is appropriate for all ages.

Palaeontologists study fossils to uncover what life was like thousands of years ago. Become junior palaeontologist and learn about what animals lived in Alberta during the Ice Age!

In this workshop, get hands-on with real fossils and learn the skills that help palaeontologists make their discoveries. Learn how to tell the difference between Ice Age fossils and how to piece together Alberta’s frozen past.

This workshop is designed for youth in Grades 4 – 8 (ages 9 –14); no previous experience is required.

Note: Due to limited space, this is a drop-off activity; parents cannot accompany participants during the workshop.
