The Air We Breathe: It Is Not What It Used To Be
Sep. 13, 2021 7:00 p.m.
The composition of the atmosphere is changing due to burning of fossil fuels, manufacturing and agricultural practices. These are warming the atmosphere and destroying the stratospheric ozone layer. NOAA monitors the composition of the atmosphere from 100s of locations around the Earth. CO2, the most important greenhouse gas, was 419 ppm at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii, in May 2021, a 100 ppm increase since 1955. Methane, the second most important greenhouse gas began increasing again in 2007. The likely causes are emissions from tropical wetlands and leaks from gas and oil fields. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are the main gases that cause ozone destruction in the stratosphere and produce the “Antarctic Ozone Hole”. The production of CFCs is banned under the Montreal Protocol and CFCs have decreased greatly in the past 20 years. However, a recent CFC violation of the Montreal Protocol has been traced to illicit production in China. Russ grew up in Castor, Alberta that he still considers his “home”. He attended universities in Alberta, Newfoundland, Hawaii, Wales and Wyoming and holds degrees in Biology, Chemistry, Climatology and Atmospheric Science. He discovered biological ice nuclei, the most effective initiators of natural precipitation, while working in the Alberta Hail Project, Penhold, Alberta. These ice nuclei are now used in ski hill snowmaking. He established that Arctic Haze is air pollution from Eastern Europe. Russ has published 135 scientific article on ice nuclei, carbon dioxide, black carbon, ozone, global air pollution and the changing atmosphere. Dr. Russell C. Schnell, Senior Scientist, |

Days for Girls
Nov. 08, 2021 7:00 p.m.
Louise discovered Days for Girls at a booth at a craft show in Edmonton in 2015. She was immediately drawn to the cause and shocked because she had never even considered what girls did during menstruation in other countries. She joined the Edmonton chapter and started sewing. Two years later, she became the Country Coordinator. In 2018, she was asked to take on the role of Translation Coordinator ensuring the AWH flip chart and other DfG documents are translated into as many languages as possible. “I wear many hats at Days for Girls, at the local, national and international levels, and I enjoy every minute of it!” Louise will share some of her Days for Girls experiences in an engaging presentation. Every Girl. Everywhere. Period. |

Canadian Arctic Holidays
Feb. 01, 2022 7:00 a.m.
Richard has participated in 45 arctic expeditions, including 7 north pole expeditions. He has the Order of Canada, the Ondaatje Medal from the Canadian Geographical Society as well as other awards and medals from Canada and Russia. He and his family operate Arctic Watch on Somerset Island. He is an avid cross-country skier. Cliff’s son worked at the lodge for a summer.
In 1992 he and his family purchased a whale watching camp on Somerset Island. There are hundreds of Beluga whales there from early July to mid-August. There are also muskox and polar bears. Somerset is in the middle of Canada’s arctic islands, 1500 kilometers from Yellowknife. It is a 20-minute flight from Resolute Bay. All fuel and food must be brought in. The camp has tent-like buildings which he said are very good in the weather but are not bear proof. The water is pumped up the hill to a tank which operates the camp’s water by gravity. Sewage is taken from the camp to a locally constructed lagoon. Electricity is from a generator—summer is only 6 to 7 weeks long so solar or wind generation are not practical. His initial problem was a short gravel air strip that pilots were afraid to use. He brought in a bulldozer in a weeklong journey over the ice—the ice was barely thick enough and on occasion they laid planks and plywood to distribute the weight. The air strip eventually had to lengthened again to 4000 feet and all rocks removed. They now have a GPS assisted approach allowing landings with minimal visibility. ATR 70 passenger turboprop aircraft can fly there directly from Yellowknife. Supplies are sent by ship to Resolute Bay and must then be flown to camp. In the past they have been able to snowmobile from Resolute Bay to camp, but this is no longer possible as there is no ice. Their clients are largely from North America. They are fully booked this year, almost fully for 2023 and are booking into 2024. Their season is only 6 to 7 weeks. Cost is $16,000 per week. Guests can watch whales, hike, kayak and fish for Arctic Char.
Note: I, Cliff Drever, lined up Richard Weber to give a presentation to our club on what is going on in the Arctic as per climate and tourism today. You may remember he and his wife presented to our club several years ago about their expeditions to the North and South pole. Richard has been to the North Pole more than any person and holds the record with a Russian man for the only non-supported trip to the pole and back. Josse Weber led an expedition to the South Pole with a group of women. They along with two sons operate Arctic Watch on Summerset Island (my son Lee worked for them up there for two seasons as a teenager).
2016--Richard receives the order of Canada medal from Governor General David Johnston
Arctic Watch founder Richard Weber received The Order of Canada from the Canadian Govenor General. Held at the Rideau Hall in Ottawa, Ontario, 42 recipients were chosen by the Canadian Government in distinguishment of their exploits. Richard was nominated for his pioneering acts of polar exploration and for his efforts to increase awareness of environmental threats to the North. Richard has spent more than 30 years in the polar regions!

Rotary Peace Scholarship
Mar. 01, 2022 7:00 a.m.
Global Grant Scholar, Anna-Marie Robertson Anna-Marie has achieved a Rotary Global Grant Scholarship to attend Georgetown University in Washington DC to pursue her Masters law degree. Her interest in peace building and reconciliation developed early in life, spurred on by experiencing a presentation by Dr Knight her mother was attending. As a youth, she made a vow to make the world a better place. Attending a Rotary Youth Exchange information night led to an exchange to the Netherlands in 2012-13. She embraced the chance to experience a new culture, learn a new language and especially the opportunity to often visit the library in the Hague. The materials on humanitarianism, the rules of war and other legal issues were the most interesting to her. She is still in contact with her host parents and family. The exchange increased her interest in Rotary leading to participating in RYLA, ROTEX and starting an Interact Club at her high school. Looking to expand her experience she undertook the third year of her undergraduate degree in France. Following graduation, she worked for the Canadian Red Cross dealing with the impact of disasters in British Columbia and Fort McMurray. While attaining her law degree at Cambridge she was drawn to the rise of cyber warfare – killer robots, cyber spying, etc., and its lack of oversight by the rules of war. As a Senior Advisor, Government Relations for the Canadian Red Cross she realized she needed stronger credentials to spur attention and change in the approach to cyber warfare. The Geneva Convention lacks relevancy to current developments in warfare, has gaps in its application and needs enhancements or replacement with more relevant legislation. Anna-Marie has been accepted into the International Security Law program at Georgetown University this year. She is immensely thankful for the support of Rotary Clubs, Rotarians, District and Foundation making this possible. The Rotary Club of Capitol Hill, Washington DC will be her host club while there. It is obvious that Anna-Marie is a great ambassador for Rotary and she exemplifies giving back and contributing to community at home and around the world through her peace building efforts. |
