Major public figure in Canadian science
journalism visiting area to speak about current
environmental topics of public interest
The Ausable Bayfield Maitland Valley Drinking Water
Source Protection Region is proud to welcome author and
award-winning broadcaster Bob McDonald who will speak
on ‘Perspectives on a Planet.’
This noted communicator will look at the Earth in its
full environmental context, as a small rock covered in a thin
film of water and air just close enough to an average star to
support intelligent life. There is no other world like it. While
robots have visited eight other nearby worlds and telescopes
have spotted more than 250 planets around other stars, not
one of them is like our Earth. Looking at our planet in a
holistic way we see how its face has changed over time, how
human activity is altering that face today and examines ways
we can take care of the little bit of air and water that clings
to its surface for the future.
