Description

The SAC is launching a brand new speaker series in 2026. Join us for our first presentation of the year, featuring award-winning science broadcaster, bestselling author, and Officer of the Order of Canada, Bob McDonald.

Here's the good news: there is no shortage of energy on Earth, it falls freely from the sky, blows on the winds, flows in the tides, radiates out of the ground and literally grows on trees. And we have the technology to capture that energy and put it to work without compromising the environment.

This presentation is a fresh look at the latest in solar, wind, geothermal, and other innovative green energy systems that can power the future. And it is all available today if we choose to use it.

Registration opens on February 1.

Bob McDonald is a renowned Canadian science broadcaster and bestselling author with over 50 years of experience bringing science to the public. He hosts CBC Radio’s Quirks & Quarks and is a science correspondent for CBC TV’s The National.

Bob has authored seven books and received numerous national honors for science communication, including television, radio, and children’s educational programming.
