Canada is the seventh most glaciated country in the world. While much of that ice is in our country’s Arctic region, hundreds of glaciers and icefields are found in the mountains of Alberta and British Columbia. These glaciers are more than reservoirs storing our freshwater, they are fascinating, dynamic places where people pursue adventures, run businesses, conduct scientific studies and create art, photography, films and books. They are places of stories!

With spectacular, eye-popping images, Lynn Martel shares captivating stories and photos from her book, Stories of Ice: Adventure, Commerce and Creativity on Canada’s Glaciers. Come learn how you can celebrate glaciers today and in 2025- which was recently announced by the UN as the International Year of Glacier Preservation.
