Parks Canada and the United States National Park Service invite you to the annual Waterton-Glacier Science and History Day. This year’s event is in Waterton Lakes National Park on Tuesday, July 29, from 9:30 am until 3:30 pm at the Falls Theatre. The event is open to the public and free of charge.
Science and History Day is a great way for people to hear the latest results from scientists and historians carrying out projects in and around the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. Topics are presented in a non-technical manner, and are grouped into themes such as history, vegetation and wildlife. Some of the topics for this year include: wolverines, the 1964 Flood 50th anniversary, community based carnivore management, and history of women in the park.
