Trouble in the Headwaters: Fernie film screening + panel discussion

Join us in Fernie as we combine storytelling with science and conversation to explore the complex connection between clearcut logging and the increasing frequency of floods, landslides and droughts across our province.

Admission by donation at the door; PLEASE REGISTER VIA THE 'TICKETS' BUTTON to reserve your seat, as space is limited.

This event will feature a screening of Trouble in the Headwaters, a 25-minute documentary by Daniel J. Pierce about the disastrous 2018 flood event in Grand Forks, BC, featuring UBC Professor Dr. Younes Alila.

Daniel and Younes will both be present to introduce the film, and answer questions afterwards as part of a panel discussion with local experts and Wildsight’s forestry team. You’ll leave with a better understanding of what’s happening in your local watershed, and insights into ways we can all help.

Unfortunately Knox on 2nd is not yet wheelchair accessible. If you think you may need assistance, please contact us at aW5mbyB8IHdpbGRzaWdodCAhIGNh ahead of time so we can support you as best we can.
