Logging Algonquin Screening & Panel

  • Bytowne Cinema 325 Rideau Street (map)

Join us for the Ottawa Premiere of Logging Algonquin, a thought-provoking documentary that delves into the critical issue of ongoing logging in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada.

Through conversations with indigenous locals, scientists, foresters, and political experts, the film asks the question: ‘Does logging belong in our modern day park?’

The film not only provides expert opinions but brings the viewer down onto the forest floor as they follow a group of passionate environmentalists (Mark Friesen, Katie Krelove, Dave Marcus) searching for the logging in the park and a researcher (Michael Henry) attempting to document the remaining old growth forest in Algonquin.

The screening will be followed by an engaging panel discussion with environmental experts Katie Krelove and Stephen Woodley along with filmmaker Conor Devries This will be a great chance to participate in a conversation that goes beyond the film and learn about the complexities of forestry practices and their impact on our environment.
