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.

The Spring Speaker Series is the showcase event of the year.

The Fraser Lectureship in Northern Studies focuses on an exchange of information between Northern and Southern Canada. Past projects include presentations in Inuvik, Norman Wells, Yellowknife and other communities, as well as GIS education workshops in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. In 2004 this series will bring presentations to Whitehorse and several smaller communities in the Yukon such as Haines Junction, Mayo and Dawson.

The Lectures Program has been involved in several co-sponsored presentations over the years. The 2004 program, co-sponsored by the Society, CPAWS and Queen's University Alumni will bring presentations to 10 major centres across the country.
