Waterton-Glacier Science and History Day in Waterton Lakes National Park

Jul 24, 2016 | 10:46 AM

WATERTON – Every summer on the fourth Tuesday in July, Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park presents a special all-day program highlighting the parks’ science and history.

On July 26, Parks Canada and the U.S. National Park Service will host the 13th annual Waterton-Glacier Science and History Day at the Falls Theatre (near Cameron Falls) in Waterton Lakes National Park.

Science and History Day allows scientists and historians working in and around the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park to share their work with the public in a non-technical style.

There will be presentations grouped into themes of aquatic resources, landscapes, history and wildlife.

Some of this year’s subjects include: the threats facing salamanders, cross-boundary work on climate change, the parks’ lesser-known past, and how remote cameras are used to track wildlife movement.

Jeff Mow, Glacier National Park Superintendent, said that the Peace Park event celebrates the many cooperative projects carried out in the park’s scientific community.

The history day will also commemorate the U.S. National Park Service’s Centennial with a viewing of the 1954 film “Wardens of Waterton” featuring cooperative work with Glacier National Park’s Rangers.

The event and admission to the park is free of charge.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a sack lunch for the 45-minute lunch break, so as not to miss the film viewing at 12:45 p.m.
