Ward Cameron

Historian, naturalist, guide, and one of the world's last great storytellers.

"My purpose is to utilize my skills to motivate people and to make them aware of the diversity of life in the west, both past and present."

Ward Cameron is a historian, naturalist, and story teller. He is the author of three books - "A Kananaskis Country SuperGuide" and "Mountain Biking the Canadian Rockies, and "Mountain Biking Southwestern British Columbia". On one solo mountain bike ride, following the footsteps of the explorers, Ward had to talk his way past a 300 kg. (660 lbs.) grizzly, push through 12km. (7.5 mi.) of heavy snow to crest a 2,500 m. (8,000 ft ) pass, descend a 30 m. (100 ft.) cliff face with his bike, and push his bike a final 27.5 kms. (17 mi.) through heavy mud that repeatedly caused both wheels to seize. During this lengthy ordeal, he found strength in the stories of the first explorers and railroad surveyors. Through the experiences of these trailblazers and adventurers, we find metaphors of change and uncertainty.

As a workshop facilitator and keynote speaker, Ward will provide an exciting and truly unique presentation for your next group with his lively mix of speaking, slides, and story telling.
