HEARTS IN THE ICE (Med Hjertet i Isen)
Starting in August 2019, for 9 months, Sunniva Sorby and Hilde Fålun Strøm will be based at a remote trappers cabin called Bamsebu, 140 km from Longyearbyen, Svalbard where they will serve as citizen scientists.
Join in this historic event as Hilde, from Svalbard Norway, and Sunniva, from Squamish BC, share images and perspectives from 23 years as Polar Ambassadors in the Arctic.
Hearts in the Ice will be collaborating with the Norwegian Polar Institute and the Norwegian Meterological Institute by providing weather data and wildlife observations. They will be analyzing the influence that the Gulf Stream has on the west coast of Spitsbergen through the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. They will take observations for NASA, collect snow samples and plastic pollution, and field test solar, wind energy and electric snowmobiles. Life at Bamsebu will be broadcast and published via Iridium satellite through social media to scientists, school children, adventurers, and interested citizens from around the world. Hearts in the Ice will serve as a platform for global dialogue and engagement concerning the changes we are experiencing in the Polar Regions which impact the world and what we all, individually, might be able to do about it.
Hilde Fålun Strøm is product manager for Hurtigruten, Svalbard and has been living in that remote outpost for the past 23 years (every one of those years has 3 months of darkness). She is a revered expedition leader and adventurer, a proficient hunter and has already spent more than a full year living in trappers huts in the high Arctic. She is more than the Annie Oakley of the north: her resume includes more than 200 polar bear encounters and over 60,000 km on snowmobiles.
Sunniva Sorby is Director, Global Sales for Polar Latitudes, an Antarctic operator. She calls Squamish home though much of her life has been spent exploring in the Polar Regions in Norway, USA and Canada. She is a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and a member of the Explorers Club. Sunniva made history as a member of the first women’s team to ski to theSouth Pole in 92-93 and as Expedition Leader for a Greenland Crossing in 1999. Her deep love of the wild open spaces is what drives her to keep them wild and open for generations to come.

For over a decade, the fellas from Farmteam have been filling rooms and halls with great acoustic music. All of them seasoned multi-instrumentalist singers and performers with a broad musical background. The band plays a mixture of original and cover songs that touch on many genres including folk, celtic, jazz, pop, and country. The Farmteam stage is cluttered with acoustic guitars, mandolins, violin, banjo and bass and microphones for four great singers of lead and stacked harmony. Tap your toe to Farmteam or dance a hole in the floor.

ROY FORBES
A rare BC artist with a street named in his honour in his hometown of Dawson Creek, Roy Forbes brings with him a great batch of original songs fifty years in the making. He also travels with an in-depth knowledge of jazz, blues, country and folk music. Starting ‘up north’ in the sixties as BIM, he had his brush with stardom before becoming one of Canada’s most respected and best loved singer-songwriters. With nine solo records and a couple more with UHF companions Shari Ulrich and Bill Henderson, Roy has left much for posterity. As a performer he is a master of the stage, establishing an electrical connection with audiences. His show on CKUA, Roy’s Record Room, celebrates his knowledge of the music of the past. Someday someone will be collecting him as one of the best this country has produced.

You may have heard that the Brackendale Art Gallery is for sale. Alas, it is true.
Thor is 85 with all that entails. It is time.
We are however very open to ideas and options we may not yet have heard or considered.
In the mean time it is business as usual!
