Live 'n Learn March 28 - Paul Smith

Our next Live 'n Learn session will be held on March 28, from 12:00 - 3:00 PM. Our guest speaker will be Paul Smith, who some of you may recall made a presentation to us some years ago, pre-COVID.

Paul is Adjunct Research Scientist, Conservation, Biology and Arctic Ecology from Carleton University. His particular area of study includes Arctic Terrestrial Ecosystems with the department of Environment and Climate Change Canada. Although he travels the world lecturing and teaching, he also has an interest in local initiatives such as the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust.

Paul's presentation will include an update on his previous Arctic travels as well as a discussion on local conservation issues. That will be followed by an open Q&A session.

Lunch will be served and the cost to attend is $10, the proceeds of which will go to the Centre. Please RSVP if you are planning to attend.

Rentals

The Darling White Lake Centre is available to rent for special events, meetings, family get-togethers, small commercial activities, and so on. The following facility user fee schedule applies.

Rentals

For private (i.e. not open to the public) or commercial events not requiring the use of the kitchen, the fee is $65 per calendar day (or part). The rental fee is $100 per calendar day (or part) if the kitchen facilities will be used in support of the event. For any event expecting more than 60 attendees the rental fee will be determined on a case-by-case basis. In all cases, prior approval of the Executive Committee is required for any rentals.

NOTE: If alcohol is to be served/available at the event, the renter MUST obtain a Special Occasions Permit (here) and provide a copy to the Executive Committee no later than 1 week prior to the event. Failure to do so will result in the reservation being cancelled. Both the approved Rental Application and the SOP must be posted at the Centre during the event.
