You’re invited to a special screening of Sharing the Range in Canmore on Wednesday night, 7pm at the Canmore Collegiate High School Theatre.

You’ll get a chance to hear from provincial wildlife specialists on the history of grizzly bears in Alberta.  Following the film the audience will then have the opportunity to present questions to a panel of ranchers, wildlife experts and others who have an interest in the co-existence of large carnivores and agriculture.

I spoke with local filmmaker Leanne Allison and bear conflict biologist Jay Honeyman about the project and how the challenges Southern Alberta ranchers face with nearby grizzlies have both similarities and differences with what we deal with in the Bow Valley.

Admission by donation.
