The College of Fellows Annual Dinner, the Royal Canadian Geographical Society’s biggest fundraising event of the year, is held annually to collect funds for the organization’s efforts to provide broadly educational programming.
Our Fellows Dinner can accommodate up to 600 people in person. This year, over 200,000 social media users will be exposed to our digital Fellows Show on various Canadian Geographic platforms.
Get to know the crew that found the wreck of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Quest and understand personally the exciting tale that led to the discovery of the famous shipwreck. Hear from renowned planetary scientist Prof. Sara Seager about the quest for life on extrasolar planets, innovative social entrepreneur Zita Cobb about the significance of place, and Shackleton Medallist Valérie Courtois about Indigenous-led conservation and stewardship.
A full grasp of the issues confronting our nation today depends on the efforts of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. From climate change to rapprochement with Indigenous people, our achievements in narrative and mapping elicit profound understanding and captivate a large audience. With the Geographica Dinner 2024, we will honour not only the organization’s overall accomplishments but also the accomplishments of our Fellows—the RCGS’s lifeblood. Since Fellows of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society make annual contributions to the arts, sciences, politics, and other fields, this esteemed occasion offers a chance to honour and discover the most recent accomplishments of this talented group.
