The School of Environmental Studies at ³ÉÈË´óƬ is pleased to support a public lecture by Simon Jackson of the Spirit Bear Youth Coalition on Sunday January 21st 2018 beginning 4:00pm at the Discovery Centre, Fort Henry.

For his efforts he was named Hero for the Planet by Time Magazine and was the inspiration for the movie Spirit Bear: The Simon Jackson Story. Today, Simon leverages his skills and experiences as a strategist to help diverse clients secure a social license to advance good ideas that will benefit society. Simon is a widely published author, as well as lead storyteller for GhostBearPhotography.com.

The Simon Jackson public lecture is part of the Queen's Sustainability Conference organized by student-led QSUS.  This event is free and includes a complimentary dinner from Tulips & Maple — but spaces are limited.
