Dr. Goodall was back in Canada and better than ever this April
March 31-April 6
Dr. Jane Goodall was recently in Canada for a whirl-wind spring tour promoting her unwavering message of hope in Toronto and Halifax.
In Toronto, we gave our senior Roots & Shoots Champions the opportunity to share their ideas, inspiration, and projects with Dr. Jane, and with our new Roots & Shoots recruits, through song, video, and even rap, at the University of Toronto. This was followed by the inaugural Jane Goodall scholarship, awarded by our partners, the Centre for Environment at the University of Toronto. We also held a special environment and development seminar with a presentation by Dr. Zinta Zommers, examining recent controversies in conservation such as population growth around protected areas and the role of the researcher.
An audience of almost 800 joined Dr. Goodall in an exclusive engagement at the ROM, co-presented by the Schad Gallery of Biodiversity, as we wrapped up the 50th anniversary celebrations of her pioneering research. Then it was off to Halifax - for the first time ever - where Dr. Goodall spoke at the Halifax Chamber of Commerce Spring Dinner and also swung by the Discovery Centre to connect with local youth and inspire participation in the Roots & Shoots program.

Dr. Goodall at the Jubilee Auditorium, Calgary
October 24, 2010
World-renowned primatologist, conservationist and humanitarian Dr. Jane Goodall went to the West Coast of Canada in October as part of her ‘50 Years of Chimps & Change’ anniversary tour. The tour included two cities, Vancouver and Calgary, with events at Science World in Vancouver, the University of Calgary, West Island College, and her first-ever guest editor position with the Calgary Herald. Dr. Goodall delivered her largest-ever Canadian lecture on October 24th at Jubilee Auditorium, presented in partnership with the University of Calgary, to a sold-out crowd of over 2500 people. During her Canadian lecture tour, Dr. Goodall reflected on the meaning of the past five decades, from the incredible insights her research has offered into our closest animal relatives, to the extraordinary change the world has seen since 1960, for people, for animals, and for the environment. All proceeds from the event were in support of the Jane Goodall Institute and its work.
