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.
