Film Screening: Uncharted Waters

In 2021, Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound was designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Region. Come learn about our Biosphere and its unique ecosystem. Bob Turner’s short film A UNESCO Biosphere Region for Átl’ka7tsem / Howe Sound precedes our feature, Uncharted Waters, which shows four diverse young activists’ work to protect our Biosphere: local marine ecologist Fiona Beaty, Bowen artist Di, and Skwxwú7mesh Nation members Jonathan Williams and Nolan Rudkowsky. All four contributed to the Howe Sound Marine Reference Guide, an interactive map of marine life habitats and man-made influences. Ian Winn and Courtney Smaha will answer questions about the Biosphere and map. FREE but space is limited; register on the Library’s website. Also streamed live via Zoom.
