SHARING AND CREATING KNOWLEDGE
ON THE SAUGEEN (BRUCE) PENINSULA
2022 SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE FORUM
SAVE THE DATE! The Sources of Knowledge Board had decided to postpone this year’s spring Forum due to the rise in covid-19 spread in our community. We’ve made some adjustments and will be holding it in the fall instead! Scheduled for October 28 – 30, we hope to have many of the same speakers joining us and look forward to welcoming everyone back.
Stay tuned for more details, which will be posted as they become available!
WHAT’S HAPPENING
SOK is hiring!
Sources of Knowledge is hiring an Administrator on a part-time basis (variable hours) for an on-going term. This individual would provide clerical and administrative support to the Board of Directors including managing the budget, preparing financial statements, organizing board meetings, and playing a key role in the annual Forums. Please send your resume, or any questions, to info@sourcesofknowledge.ca.
New Project Alert!
The Sources of Knowledge Forum is intended to demonstrate how research in Bruce Peninsula National Park, Fathom Five National Marine Park, the surrounding community, and beyond can contribute to knowledge and understanding of the Saugeen-Bruce Peninsula.
In an effort to further the Sources of Knowledge goal to encourage and enable youth to be stewards of this remarkable place, we also administer an annual Student Bursary Award in partnership with Parks Canada. This bursary program has allowed us to help local students finance their post-secondary education, in areas of conservation and related themes, to work toward a prospective career with Parks Canada.
Our SoK Talk initiative aims to provide ongoing opportunities, outside of the Forum, to share knowledge on a wide variety of special interest topics. Subjects from the past, present, and future that help propagate continuous learning and understanding of the Peninsula and its people.
We acknowledge that SoK operates on the Territory of the Anishinabek Nation: The People of the Three Fires known as Ojibway, Odawa, and Pottawatomie Nations. And we further give thanks to the Chippewas of Saugeen, and the Chippewas of Nawash, known collectively as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, as the traditional keepers of this land.
