Prince George, B.C. –Wade Davis, the author of “The Sacred Headwaters: the Fight to save the Stikine, Skeena and Nass “ as well as several other books, will deliver the keynote address at the annual Dr. Bob Ewert Lecture and Dinner.
Named one of the National Geographic Society’s “Explorers of the Millenium”, Davis was chosen because of the current environmental concerns rising from economic development. “The organizing committee felt he would be thought-provoking at a time when communities across the region are engaged in intensive discussions about the future of our economy and environment” says Dr. David Nelson, president of Northern Medical Society.
The annual dinner and lecture honor Dr. Bob Ewert, the first medical specialist in Prince George. This event is now in its 9th year, and raises funds for the Northern Medical Programs Trust. The Trust provides financial support to students in health care fields and to date, has provided 300 grants.
The dinner and lecture will take place on April 6th at the Prince George Civic Centre. Ticket information can be obtained by contacting the Office of External Relations at UNBC – 250.960.5750, or at development@unbc.ca.
