Kings in the North: Great White Sharks in Canadian Waters

Great White Sharks are appearing on Canada’s eastern coastlines with greater frequency each year, sparking fear and fascination in the region’s human populations. Join us as we explore the North Atlantic’s changing ecosystem and encourage an understanding of how humans and sharks can co-exist in Canadian waters.   

Hosted by curator Nathan Lujan, this afternoon/ evening will include a screening of the short documentary, Jawsome: Canada’s Great White Sharks followed by an illustrated conversation with researchers Tonya Wimmer and Heather Bowlby, and educator Alanna Canaran as they help us gain a better understanding of what it means to live alongside these misunderstood creatures.
