Generations playing this Friday at the RCC!
Hey ski/snow bums, what are your plans for Friday night? North Columbia Environmental Society presents the film “Generations” and keynote speaker Dave Quinn at 7:30 at the Revelstoke Community Centre to address the consequences of climate change on winter environments and snow culture. The movie and presentation are free!
“Generations” features Jeremy Jones, Eric Roner, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa and other big name ski/board aficionados with a stake in keeping snowsports going in a sustainable manner. Presented by The North Face in partnership with Protect Our Winters and Teton Gravity Research, Generations presents climate change through the perspectives of those for whom snowy winters have a deep personal and financial significance. Going beyond charts and numbers, the film humanizes and places into context, the debate on climate change by exploring the delicateness of winter and the intrinsic value of snow to people across generations and cultures.
Generations showcases the impact of climate change on people such as California farmers, professional riders and skiers, mountain guides, resort owners and children. What’s been the impact to them personally and ultimately what can we do to prevent further damage to a season that we’ve all taken for granted for so long?
Dave Quinn is a well respected wildlife biologist, educator, wilderness guide, professional photographer and writer based in Invermere. He will share some insight into the effects of climate change upon our winters here in the Columbia Valley both currently and into the future.
