Geography is rooted in place, and it attracts the inquisitive and curious. The first question it poses is where, and that answer leads naturally to what and why. In 2024, we are re-committing to support our core RCGS Research and Expeditions programs – funding the next generation of innovators who will identify, analyze, and communicate observations on topics ranging from climate change and interprovincial trade to land treaties and endangered species. |

Recently, Royal Canadian Geographical Society expedition grantees have rappeled, climbed, crawled, dug, and dived to expand our knowledge about Canada’s deepest cave shaft in the Dezaiko Range of the Rocky Mountains, explored ancient submerged forests, gone shipwreck hunting, and documented and shared stories about Canada’s Arctic watershed. Our research grantees are, among other notable contributions, supporting the development of a coastal environmental vulnerability index and examining the institutional barriers to self-determination of housing in the Northwest Territories. Ultimately, all of our grantees help to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of Canada’s physical, environmental, and cultural geography. This is why we’d like to ask you to help us support some of Canada’s most exciting researchers and expedition leaders. |

The call of the unknown is still irresistible to those who know where to look. Today, your generous donation of $1,000, $500, $100, $60, or whatever is right for you, will help us fulfill our mission of making Canada better known to Canadians and the world.
With thanks,
John Geiger
CEO, RCGS |
