SUMMARY:NATURE + CLIMATE + COMMUNITY SERIES: BOW VALLEY FOOD CHARTER + ME
DESCRIPTION:Join the Bow Valley Food Alliance for a discussion about the local Food Charter\, which outlines our community’s values surrounding the foods we grow\, harvest\, and eat and how we can contribute\, both individually and as a community\, to local food sustainability. \nIn recent years\, food movements have been gaining momentum across Canada. With a growing awareness about the need to create community-based food systems\, one of the ways these movements advocate for change is through the creation of Food Charters\, which outline a community’s values surrounding the foods they grow\, harvest\, and eat. Building on the creation of Food Charters that have been adopted by municipalities across the country\, the Bow Valley Food Alliance began work on the Bow Valley Food Charter in early 2018. Central to the creation of this Charter was a series of community conversations\, workshops\, and take-home conversation kits available to all Bow Valley community members. \nThe Îyârhe Nakoda Nations of the Chiniki\, Bearspaw\, and Wesley have been integral in contributing to the Charter process\, including highlighting the relationship between the Buffalo Treaty and Bow Valley Food Charter. The Bow Valley Food Alliance is particularly grateful for the time that community members have contributed in sharing their knowledge. \nSince the beginning of settlement in the Bow Valley\, large household gardens were a vital food source for Canmore families\, ensuring that they had food through a long winter season. The heritage garden at the Canmore NWMP Barracks continues this tradtiion and is one example of local food gardens contributing to local food sustainability. It is run by a team of volunteers and contributes its annual crop of vegetables and fruits to the Canmore Food Bank.\n\nABOUT OUR SPEAKERS \nThe Bow Valley Food Alliance (BVFA) is a regional organization of passionate citizens and professionals dedicated to addressing food security. BVFA addresses issues regarding access to affordable\, healthy and fresh food in a coordinated way from the continental divide to the foothills along the Bow River corridor (from Lake Louise\, ID9\, Banff\, Canmore\, Exshaw\, MD of Bighorn to Morley and Stoney Nakoda Nations). It is an independent non-profit society to better serve the diverse needs of this unique valley and communities. BVFA supports small and growing local food producers\, ranchers and processors. BVFA encourages equitable\, sustainable practices at all points of the food system. In doing so\, we will strengthen the community’s connection to food and achieve a thriving\, healthy\, environmentally- and socially-engaged community.

SUMMARY:NATURE + CLIMATE + COMMUNITY SERIES: BISON + THE LANDSCAPE
DESCRIPTION:Bison are an icon of Canada’s history. They are cultural and ecological keystone species that have returned to the region after nearly a 150-year absence. Join us for this virtual event to learn more about the important role that bison play in ensuring a nature-positive future. \nBison are ecosystem engineers. They shape the landscape in ways that help many other plants and animals\, ranging from bugs to birds to bears. Shedding their winter fur that is used by birds to line their nests is one example of the many ways bison impact the ecosystem including: \n\nGrazing and wallowing creates habitat for a range of animals including elk\, ground squirrels and badgers.\nAs North America’s largest land mammal\, bison provide a rich source of nutrients for scavengers\, bears and wolves.\n\nBison are also vital to the history and culture of many indigenous peoples. For thousands of years\, many Indigenous nations traveled through the Bow Valley hunting bison and burning forests and meadows to improve habitat quality for bison and other animals. For Indigenous peoples\, bison traditionally provided a range of life-sustaining resources. \nGUEST SPEAKER\nMarie-Eve Marchand is a system entrepreneur who grew up in Quebec and calls Banff National Park home. She was part of the group of people who successfully coordinated the movement to bring the plains bison back to Banff National Park and is has also been working on the implementation of the Buffalo Treaty with over thirty indigenous communities from Western Canada and USA and with multiple stakeholders across North America on bison restoration for over a decade.

SUMMARY:NATURE + CLIMATE + COMMUNITY SERIES: WHAT'S IT LIKE TO OWN A ZEV?
DESCRIPTION:If you have ever wondered how much an electric vehicle (EV) costs\, how far can it drive\, or what charging infrastructure you may need\, this event is for you! William York of the Electric Vehicle Association of Alberta will debunk common EV myths and demonstrate how realistic an EV purchase could be for you. Whether you are an EV expert or interested in learning more\, we invite you to join this free event. \n\nThe Canmore Museum participates in the Restrictions Exemption Program. As a result\, program registrants attending this onsite program will be required to show proof of vaccination\, a negative test result (from within the last 48 hours) or a certificate of medical exemption along with one piece of photo ID. Wearng masks is also be required by all participants throughout the duration of the program This program will also be live streamed for those wishing to participate virtually.\n\nABOUT THE PRESENTERS \nThis event is being run by the Bow Valley Climate Action Society and the Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley\, with support from the Canmore Museum. \nBow Valley Climate Actionis a group of citizens who are deeply concerned about climate change. We live\, work\, or just spend time in the Bow Valley. We are a volunteer organization\, and always welcome new members!  We are a registered non-profit society. They meet monthly to share ideas\, plan upcoming events and activities\, and discuss progress.  They have a number of working groups that focus on the topics of buildings\, transportation and advocacy.  These working groups generally meet independently of the larger group to advance work on their topic area\, and come to regular monthly meetings to report progress\, discuss ideas\, and celebrate achievements. \nBiosphere Institute of the Bow Valley \nThe Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley empowers community leadership on environmental challenges. They do so by providing high-quality environmental education programs to both children and adults\, and by actively seeking community members’ participation\, guidance\, and in-depth collaboration in planning and executing conservation programs. They also lead research to understand whether our efforts meaningfully change public knowledge\, attitudes\, and actions about conservation and nature. \nThe Canmore Museum \nCelebrating our community includes understanding the important role that our landscapes and local environment play in the visitors we see\, the adventures we embark on\, and the stories we tell. For this reason\, we at the Canmore Museum recognize the importance of building an equitable\, nature-positive\, carbon-neutral future. Over the first half of 2022\, the Canmore Museum will be hosting the Nature + Climate + Community Series—co-created in partnership with community organizations\, knowledge holders\, and storytellers in the Bow Valley—to explore the various dimensions of how nature\, climate\, and community interact\, and how we can bolster a sustainable future in Canmore. \nThis event series has been made possible thanks to funding from the Banff Canmore Community Foundation\, the Town of Banff\, the Town of Canmore\, and Natural Resources Canada.
