The Friends of Fish Creek and Alberta Parks work together to bring you the Fish Creek Speaker Series!

May’s Fish Creek Speaker series presentation is free for members and $10 for non-members.
Youth under 16 must be with a registered adult.

The next Speaker Series event is planned for June 26 from 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm at the Environmental Learning Centre in Shannon Terrace (Click here for Google Maps) and also hosted online via Zoom.
Our June 26 Speaker Series will be:
A look into Learning Naturally
Behind the scenes in the Learning Naturally Program – giving kids the chance to experience the natural world firsthand.
Getting out into nature makes memories for the rest of our lives, but having the opportunity for exploration can be hard to come by for some schools and families. Through the Learning Naturally Program, students from areas in need get the chance to learn about the wonders of the natural world and the importance of environmental conservation through field trip programs, and build lifelong connections to their local environment for both themselves and their families.
At our June 26 Speaker Series, you’ll learn all about this program, how it started, what it brings to the community, and some important insights on continuing to deliver nature programming to kids who may not have gotten the chance to participate otherwise. Join us for a presentation by co-presenters Katrina Terrill, Executive Director of the Friends of Fish Creek Provincial Park Society, and Kayla Campbell, former Learning Naturally Coordinator with the Friends.

We are so happy to announce that the Fish Creek Speaker Series is returning to the Fish Creek Environmental Learning Centre and in an even more accessible format! Now we are putting technology to work to increase accessibility for audience members who may not be able to attend in-person, and so we can bring in presenters from further afield. Presentations will be available to attend virtually through Zoom.
Online presentations may also be provided if presenters are located in a distant region.
