Family Intertidal Exploration

In this casual intertidal exploration, get an up close visit with our weird, wacky, and wonderful coastal neighbours! Then consider the complex balance between non-living and living (including humans!) in healthy ecosystems, explore the impact of weather and climate disturbances, and discuss how we, as a community, can make positive and impactful choices in our everyday lives. Includes admission into the Maritime Museum of BC. ____________ Instructor: Stephanie Chong For over 16 years, environmental educator Stephanie Chong (she/her) has coordinated learning and education opportunities at museums and science centres in Canada and the United States. She believes strongly in encouraging curiosity, a joy of being outdoors, and a communal understanding of environmental responsibility. In her spare time, you’ll likely find her wandering around the intertidal zone looking for wiggly creatures. Stephanie is originally from the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations (“Vancouver”) and has been fortunate to call the traditional territories of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples her home for the past three years. This is an OUTDOOR class, so there is no virtual option. We will be meeting at the beach. It will proceed rain or shine. In case of extreme weather warnings, this class will be cancelled and refunds issued.
