Species at Risk exhibition coming to Cranbrook
The Ktunaxa Nation and the Royal BC Museum are teaming up to raise awareness of the many species in British Columbia that are under the threat of extinction.
Species at Risk is a travelling exhibition developed by the Royal BC Museum with the support of TELUS, The Robert Bateman Centre and the John and Joan Walton Innovators Fund.
The Ktunaxa Nation Government Building is hosting the travelling exhibition from August 8 to 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.
In addition to the exhibit, Dr. Gavin Hanke, Curator of Vertebrate Zoology at the Royal BC Museum will be onsite on Tuesday, August 9 to speak to the public and answer questions.
The exhibit is open to the public and there is no cost to attend. Youth camps are encouraged to participate and interpretive programs are available.
British Columbia has the highest diversity of plant and animal life in Canada with over 50,000 species living in our province. Over 1,500 of these species are at risk of disappearing forever. Read more about the exhibit.
The Ktunaxa Nation Government Building is located at 220 Cranbrook Street North in downtown Cranbrook.
