Ed Talks are a series of free presentations, panels, and workshops from invited guests in our beautiful Royal Alexandra Hall.
On the 3rd or 4th Wednesday of every month, we will host a new speaker or set of presenters to share their knowledge of the East Kootenay’s natural and local history, and the skills or crafts they have honed in this region.
Why are they called Ed Talks?
The name, coined by one of our 2020 summer students, is a play on the world-famous speaker series and Cranbrook’s somewhat infamous escaped circus elephant, Ed. If you want to learn more about Ed’s fantastical 1926 escape into the Kootenay wilderness, check out this short video.
