What is it about our wild places that connects us with who we are, and who we can be?
Wilderness inspires one man to reclaim his life after a horrific accident results in the loss of both legs, and a woman to give up a life of drugs and crime. This is their story.
On Thursday, August 16, world renowned climbers and authors Margo Talbot and Warren Macdonald are teaming up to present an interactive workshop for all ages. This unique opportunity to listen to two exceptional speakers on overcoming experiences of trauma with a connection to nature will be an event you won’t want to miss. Geared toward a younger audience, the evening will be appropriate for the whole family and will be engaging to a wide audience.
Hosted by Slocan Valley Recreation, “The Connection” will be held at Slocan Park Hall from 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. and admission will be by donation. Proceeds will go to a new Jackrabbits Nordic Ski program that is anticipated to start this winter.
