Peel Project, The

The Peel is a multi-layered project bringing together film, the arts and sciences as a means of telling a uniquely Canadian story of art, adventure and Canadian identity. The Peel highlights the landscape, culture and wildlife of the Peel River Watershed (PRW) in Yukon/Northwest territories. This watershed is one of the last undeveloped watersheds left in Canada, spanning nearly 68,000 km2 of intact arctic wilderness. As of January 2014, 71% was opened for economic development related to mining and oil exploration — that decision has been continuously fought.

Doors at 6pm, a live music performance by an unplugged string quartet will begin at 6:30pm, followed by the  film at 7pm.
