What are EARTH TALKS?

Earth Talks is a free community program, in partnership with the Canmore Public Library that brings monthly environmental speakers and conversations relevant to our community.

On one Monday evening each month, we host a community knowledge holder in the Friends Program Room at 7:00pm for an Earth Talk. Earth Talks will typically be held on the third Monday of the month, with a few exceptions.

Thank you to the Rotary Club of Canmore for supporting this initiative.
