In a presentation based on his book, Wild Bears of Canada, wildlife guide and photographer Edward Savage will share some of his observations about grizzlies, black bears, and polar bears.
=0D=0A=Savage will be speaking at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, December 1, in the Courtenay and District Museum.
=0D=0A=Edward Savage has spent fifteen years watching bears across some of the country’s most remote terrain— and for many of the bears in this book, that relationship spans over a decade. That depth of observation is evident on every page of his book: how grizzly mothers raise and wean their young, what dangers imperil black bears, and how polar bears locate each other across the sea ice.
=0D=0A=Savage’s photographs and reflections explore the many traits of bears that we as humans value and connect with, from the profound mother-cub bonds to the strength and calm they exude in daily life.
=0D=0A=Copies of Wild Bears of Canada (Harbour Publishing) will be available for purchase ($49.95 plus tax) and signing after the talk.
=0D=0A=Edward Savage has led nature-based expeditions across Canada and internationally—wading rivers, kayaking remote coastlines, crossing the sub-arctic tundra—and has lectured widely on bear behaviour and ecology.
=0D=0A=Admission to the lecture is $5 per historical society member; $6 for non-members. Advance tickets are strongly recommended. Doors open 6:30 PM.
