CEP Calgary's Sustainable Brewing event has been cancelled but we are hoping to offer this event in the fall - Health restrictions permitting 

Join CEP Ottawa for an exciting discussion where we explore climate solutions that will help us achieve “drawdown”, the point where greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere level off, then begin to decline. This event will be held virtually via Zoom on May 25th from 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m (MST). 

They will be joined by Crystal Chissell, the Senior Director of Partnerships at Project Drawdown. Crystal will discuss the framework and solutions included in Project Drawdown. She will then moderate an engaging panel discussion of professionals from sectors identified in the Drawdown framework (i.e. electricity, buildings and food/agriculture) and how they are reversing global warming in their respective fields.

Wildlife and photography just go together. Since 2017 Calgary Captured has been working on a project to identify wildlife in trail camera photos to help understand the diversity seen within the city. 

Join the Calgary Captured team to look over these photos and help find out:

• What species are occurring in Calgary’s parks system;
• Exploration of how human activities impact wildlife movement in parks (are species temporally displaced from trails);
• Validation of wildlife corridor modeling done for Calgary; and
• Long-term monitoring to assess trends and patterns of terrestrial mammals occurring in Calgary
