Building on the success of our 2023 Open House and Forum, the Beaver Hills Biosphere is excited to announce we are hosting a bigger and better three-part event March 11 - 23, 2025 that includes:

  • Open House March 11 from 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm
    Become reacquainted with the Biosphere and get to know others who are passionate about the Beaver Hills at this evening mix and mingle.
  • Forum March 12 from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm
    Hear from the people and organizations who are actively involved in projects and initiatives in the Biosphere. Find out what they are passionate about, what they are doing, how they do it and why it matters.
  • Youth Summit March 13 from 8:30 am – 3:30 pm
    Our first ever event focused on young professionals (18-35), this summit is for youth to learn from each other and engage with the Beaver Hills Biosphere, our partners and the broader UNESCO network.

The event will take place in the Agora Room at the Strathcona County Community Centre in Sherwood Park.

Once again, it will be a great opportunity to learn, connect and network with others who are interested in and passionate about all the Beaver Hills Biosphere has to offer.
