Join Andrew on an unforgettable visual journey through Nunavik, Quebec—a remote and rugged region that offers some of Canada’s most unique photographic opportunities. During this presentation, Andrew shares his personal adventures photographing the elusive muskox, camouflaged ptarmigan, and the vast, windswept tundra landscapes that define this northern wilderness. From the golden light of Arctic sunrises to the quiet drama of the sub-arctic terrain, Nunavik is a place where every frame tells a story of resilience and beauty.
Through a collection of compelling imagery and behind-the-scenes insights, Andrew will delve into the challenges and rewards of capturing wildlife in extreme conditions. Learn about the behaviour and habitat of muskox and ptarmigan, how to approach photographing them ethically, and what gear and techniques Andrew found most effective in the ever-changing light. The tundra itself becomes a character in this narrative—vast, humbling, and incredibly photogenic.
Whether you’re interested in wildlife, landscape, or travel photography, this presentation is designed to inspire and inform. I’ll discuss logistics of accessing this remote region, the importance of preparation, and how to make the most of fleeting photographic moments in the North. Expect a session filled with passion, practical tips, and a deep appreciation for one of Canada’s last wild frontiers.

Tuesday, December 01 – Speaker – Peter Dulis – “Seeing Beyond the Lens: The Art of Fine Art Photography” (In Person Only)
This presentation is about moving past simple documentation and entering a space of interpretation, emotion, and intention. Rather than capturing a scene exactly as it appears, fine art photography seeks to reveal how it feels—transforming light, composition, and subject into a visual language that communicates mood and meaning. It invites the photographer to slow down and observe more deeply, finding beauty in subtle details, fleeting moments, and overlooked places.
Each image becomes less about recording reality and more about expressing a personal vision, where creative choices in framing, tone, and atmosphere shape a story. In this way, the camera becomes not just a tool for seeing, but a medium for seeing beyond—where imagination and perception meet to create work that resonates on an emotional and artistic level.

Tuesday, February 02 – Speaker – Shaun Antle – “Arctic Frontiers: Life at the Edge of a Changing World” (Zoom Only)
Step into a world few ever get to see-and even fewer truly understand.
In Arctic Frontiers: Life at the Edge of a Changing World, acclaimed photographer and storyteller Shaun Antle of OMNP (Oh Me Nerves Photography) takes audiences on a breathtaking visual and emotional journey to the sub-Arctic, where polar bears roam fragile coastlines,,foxes prowl the frozen tundra, and the Northern Lights dance above a town on the edge of the world.
But this is more than a presentation about wildlife and landscapes-it’s a powerful, personal story of chasing childhood dreams, confronting inner battles, and finding healing through the lens.
From surviving trauma and toxic work environments to standing face-to-face with the icons of the North, Shaun’s path has been anything but ordinary. Blending striking imagery, personal vulnerability, conservation urgency, and the awe of wild places, this talk explores what it means to dream big, endure deeply, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Audiences will leave inspired-not just by the beauty of the Arctic, but by the belief that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself, pursue your passion, and make a difference in the world. Whether you’re a nature lover, aspiring creative, mental health advocate, or simply someone searching for meaning in an increasingly disconnected world-this talk will move you, challenge you, and stay with you.
