Grizzly! features the art of contemporary artists Maureen Enns, Dale Auger, Dwayne Harty, Dan Hudson, and Cathryn and Fran Jenkins. Other artworks, artifacts, and archival materials from the Whyte Museum’s collection bring home the reality of our relationship with these beautiful and sometimes frightful creatures. From First Nations people to those of us living in the Canadian Rockies today, grizzly bears are a fact of life and symbol of the wild. The exhibition will touch upon bear-human conflict, wildlife management issues, and the impact of diminishing habitat. This exhibition celebrates Parks Canada’s 125th Anniversary.

Upcoming Exhibitions
 
Spirit of the Land and People
July 1 – October 10, 2010
Opening Reception, July 1, 2 to 4 PM
In the early 1980s, Parks Canada undertook a three-year program of archaeological research and mitigation in response to the twinning development of the Trans-Canada Highway. One of several prehistoric sites that were examined was the Vermilion Lake Site. Radiocarbon dating indicated that there has been human habitation in this area for over 10,000 years. Parks Canada’s role in this very important discovery will be featured in the exhibition, Spirit of the Land and People. In addition, the exhibition will honour Peter and Catharine Whyte’s relationship with First Nations people throughout their lives here. The museum’s collection will highlight the life of their close friend Chief Walking Buffalo, who through his work as a peace activist, created important bridges between cultures. This exhibition celebrates Parks Canada’s 125th Anniversary.
