Denman Island author Howard Macdonald Stewart presents an illustrated lecture based on his new book Views of the Salish Sea: One Hundred and Fifty Years of Change around the Strait of Georgia at the Courtenay Museum.

Views of the Salish Sea is a deft examination of the Strait of Georgia, a sea spanning 300 kilometres from Victoria to Campbell River and supporting over 200 species of fish, 130 species of marine birds, and 16 kinds of marine mammals. Stewart considers this region through a variety of perspectives—as a highway or barrier, waste dump, recreational haven and more—in an effort to express this region as an interrelated whole, one that we must work to protect if we want to preserve its inherent richness.

Admission to the evening is $5 for Historical Society members; $6 for non-members (plus GST). Advance tickets are recommended and can be purchased by phone: 250-334-0686 ext. 5.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase (Harbour Publishing, $39.95) and signing after the lecture.
