Yes, Edmonton really used to have a save-the-whales club. No, they weren't based at West Edmonton Mall. But they did make a big splash. Join Let's Find Out host Chris Chang-Yen Phillips for a live podcast recording, exploring the fascinating history of the Whale Society of Edmonton.
From 1979 to 1984, the group led public education programs about whales and dolphins and advocated for their protection.
Together we'll learn what drove these Edmontonians in a time of hope and crisis, and see fan art and letters they received from around Alberta.
Celebrated author and activist Candas Jane Dorsey will share stories about her late sister Jaclyn Dorsey, who helped lead the Whale Society.
City Archivist Kathryn Ivany will introduce you to the Whale Society's files at the City of Edmonton Archives, and show you how you can explore your own questions at the archives.
Doors at 6pm, show begins at 6:30pm.
This venue is wheelchair-accessible and has gender neutral washrooms.
