On Feb 12, 2026 the ACCVI section teamed up with the Mountain Legacy Project and the UVic Kula Library Futures Academy to bring a slideshow/panel presentation on the Mountain Legacy Project and their new book, Mountain Voices. But due to the nature of the event it was not available via Zoom. However, an up-Island event based on similar content was promised – details were to follow. These are the details!
Let the Images Speak: The Mountain Legacy Project, Re-photography, and Voices from the Canadian Mountain West
“Awe. How many thoughtful people can claim that awe is or was at the centre of their lives or careers? Inhabiting mountains permits, engenders, and upholds that blessing”.
Ian S. MacLaren in the forward to Mountain Voices: The Mountain Legacy Project and a Century of Change in Western Canada.
