Virtual fundraiser on Zoom
Celebrate International Beaver Day with a virtual screening of two beaver-related documentaries, with live Q&A!
- Fish Creek Beavers: Pathways to Coexistence (2021) – Short documentary film exploring local efforts to coexist with beavers
- The Beaver Believers (2018) – Award-winning feature documentary sharing the urgent yet whimsical story of an unlikely cadre of activists – five scientists and a sassy, spicy hairdresser – who share a common vision. Click here to learn more about The Beaver Believers documentary.
An important member of the parks wildlife community and ecosystem engineer, beavers continue to have a significant impact on the ecosystem here in Fish Creek and throughout North America. Join us for a double-header movie night and find out what’s being done to foster coexistence with beavers both in Fish Creek, and south of the border!
Each screening will be followed by a live Q&A with the Friends of Fish Creek and with The Beaver Believers filmmaker, Sarah Koenigsberg.
