In this talk, we'll look more at the behind-the-scenes aspect of writing a book like High Cols and Deep Canyons, with an emphasis on the craft of writing, and the "rules" Stephen follows to be as productive and creative as possible

Crossing High Cols: A photographic journey to tell the story of a life outdoors.

It's true that every life is a story, and it's true that in the Bow Valley, many of those stories are told outdoors. Join author, photographer, political organizer, and instructor Stephen Legault to explore how he is compiling stories from more than forty years of outdoor adventure. He uses stories to convey the importance of the human relationship with wild nature; what it means as we struggle to find the balance between our passion for the outdoors and the pressure we put on landscapes that we increasingly turn to for solace and sanctuary.

This event will take place on Thursday, February 9th at 7:00pm in the Friends Program Room.
