Lecture Series: Ecotourism and the G8

The Muskoka Watershed Council and the Muskoka Heritage Foundation are holding a lecture series on issues important to watershed health. The fourth lecture, entitled Ecotourism and the G8, is scheduled for Thursday June 18 at 7 pm at the Algonquin Theatre in Huntsville. The lecture will provide an overview of environmental actions undertaken by G8 leaders in the past, spotlight work done on ecotourism around the world and how we can apply that knowledge to Muskoka/Haliburton.

There will be three speakers and an opportunity to ask questions. The speakers include Ella Kokotsis who is the Director of Research for the G8 Research Group at the University of Toronto; Paul Eagles, professor in ecotourism at the University of Waterloo; and Robin Tapley, a local ecotourism operator.
