Each attendee will receive a large popcorn and a large drink.
RSVP: Please email Wenona.Gordon@wlfn.ca or text/call 250-302-2876 with the number of people attending.

Join us for an evening of learning, reflection, and community connection as we explore ways to protect local wildlife and habitat.

Produced by the Wilderness Committee, Toad People tells the story of people like Steve Clegg and and other families and communities across BC who are taking action to save the wildlife in their backyard, whether it’s toads, mountain caribou, rattlesnakes or barn owls.

Their work is immense. Because despite having some of the most diverse wildlife in North America – including 1,900 species at risk – British Columbia is one of only two provinces in Canada with no endangered species law.

For the last four years, co-directors Mike McKinlay and Isabelle Groc have documented intensive community efforts to save species at risk in British Columbia and explored the urgent need for a BC endangered species law. Today, they bring those stories and the people behind them together in Toad People.
