RCEN “Living History” Tour

This spring and summer, the Canadian Environmental Network (RCEN) is supporting an exciting, self-propelled project in order to capture the Network's living history through video interviews with members.

Starting on May 6th, two students from the University of Guelph - Dylan White and Garrett Reynolds - will be crossing the country by bicycle to film a documentary about water issues in Canada. Their “Quest for Water” will begin in Victoria, British Columbia and end in St. John’s, Newfoundland this coming August.

As they cycle across each province, Dylan and Garrett will be conducting video interviews with members of the RCEN living along the Trans-Canada Highway. The main goal of this project is to collect the organization’s rich history directly from the people who have contributed to its success over the last three decades.

The short interviews will record members' stories, anecdotes and thoughts, and will be posted on the RCEN website once the footage has been edited.

We Want to Hear Your Stories!
We are hoping to interview current and former members with long-time experience and participation in the Network's activities. If you have fond memories or interesting stories about your time with the RCEN, we want to hear them! We will also be conducting interviews at the upcoming Annual General Assembly in Edmonton (June 12-14).

For more information about participating in this project, please contact Robert Henri, Communications Coordinator, at 613-728-9810, ext. 229.
