The Society’s Speaker Series presents fascinating scientists, explorers, writers and photographers who give beautifully illustrated talks on a wide variety of subjects at various centres across Canada.

The Fall Speaker Series alternates between different regions of the country. In the past few years, lectures have been given in Halifax, Moncton and Fredericton in Atlantic Canada, Vancouver and Victoria on the West Coast and Winnipeg and Regina in the Prairies.
