Since 1929, the Royal Canadian Geographical Society has been making Canada better known to Canadians and the world by supporting expeditions and geographical research, providing free educational resources to Canadian classrooms and publishing Canadian Geographic. We believe geography is the ideal lens through which to understand the biggest questions and challenges of the 21st century, and we are meeting those challenges head-on through impactful storytelling and dynamic public engagement programs like the Network of Nature.
As a non-profit organization, the Society relies on the support of individuals who believe in the importance of the work we do. All proceeds raised from our annual silent auction go directly to supporting our programs. Below, take a look at some of the incredible trips and one-of-a-kind experiences up for auction, and browse all of the available items on the auction website.
Bidding closes Thursday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. EST. Good luck!
The Royal Canadian Geographical Society gratefully acknowledges the generosity of those who donated trips, experiences and items to support our fundraising efforts. |
