Meet award-winning professor, writer and researcher specializing in youth wellness, Dr. Sean Lessard. An Associate Professor of Secondary Education at the University of Alberta in Indigenous Education and Teacher Education -- he is well known for his work alongside Indigenous youth and communities in the development of innovative educational programming and indigenous youth empowerment. Dr. Lessard’s outlook is that ”We will never go wrong if we’re thinking about and involving young people.” The discussion will involve laughter, imagination and dreaming together for knowledge to understand how to create spaces and communities for young people and to inspire and support them on their journey.

Studying Urban Wildlife in Regina
The Royal Saskatchewan Museum is monitoring urban wildlife in and around Regina to study how wildlife responds to urbanization and which parts of the city provide important wildlife habitat.
Twenty-eight biodiversity monitoring stations have been set up over the last three years. They include motion-triggered trail cameras to monitor large mammals and automated microphones to record bird songs and bat calls. The monitoring stations are evenly distributed at locations in the middle of the city, on the edges and in more natural areas well outside the city boundaries. They are active for one-month periods in the spring, summer, fall and winter.
