CMI and Wildsight are co-hosting a viewing of the film Jumbo Wild and a keynote address by Dr. Cam Owens who will speak to: “Politics, Geography and Environmental Assessment: Reflections on the Struggle over the Jumbo Valley.”
Cam is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Victoria and Director of the Cascadia Sustainability Field School Program. Dr. Owens’ scholarship focuses on political, cultural and pedagogical dimensions of environmental assessment and sustainable community development. His doctoral dissertation interrogated land use planning and environmental assessment in the province grounded in an in-depth case study of the contentious Jumbo Glacier Resort review.
Jumbo Wild, a Sweetgrass production, documents the decade-long debate of the future of BC’s iconic Jumbo Valley.
The keynote address and film are part of CMI’s Environmental & Social Assesment Forum.
