Jon Turk—adventurer, scientist, storyteller and wanderer—will present ‘Talking to Animals’ on encounters with wild creatures in Invermere, Kimberley, Cranbrook and Creston.

Accompanied by photographs from his decades wandering the globe and in his inimitable storytelling style, Jon will delve into the mystery of interspecies communication.

Join Wildsight in Cranbrook on September 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the College of the Rockies Lecture Theatre, in the Columbia Valley on September 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Wilmer Community Hall, in Kimberley on September 28 at 7:30 p.m. at Centre 64, or in Creston on September 29 at 7 p.m. at Rotacrest Hall.

Many people talk with dogs, cats, and even goldfish, daily. We also see wild animals in forests, meadows, and mountains. Deer, elk, bear, ravens. Every once in a while, maybe once a decade, if we are lucky, wild animals come and talk to us, or play with us. Join Jon on journeys from the Tropics to the Arctic, to recognize and welcome these animal encounters and then embrace them into our spirit.

Montanan Jon Turk, who previously addressed Kootenay audiences with ‘Crocodiles and Ice’ with Wildsight four years ago and has spoken at the Banff and Vancouver Mountain Film Festivals, is sure to entertain with his tales of adventure and the animals he meets along the way.

All proceeds support Wildsight’s environmental work in the local community. More details at wildsight.ca/jonturk.
