2015 Sources of Knowledge Forum "The Great Arc: Life on the (L)Edge"


May 08, 2015 to May 10, 2015


The 2015 Sources of Knowledge Forum is titled "The Great Arc: Life on the (L)Edge". To take place in Tobermory on May 8-10, its goal is to build bridges to other communities which, like the Bruce, lie on the rim of the Michigan Basin.

earning about these communities is interesting in itself, but it is our common issues and the ways they have been addressed that form the core of this Forum. This year we are focusing on that area of Wisconsin encompassing Green Bay and the Door Peninsula to the north. The Door and Bruce peninsulas in particular have geographical and geological similarities. The Door escarpment faces west and is referred to as the "Ledge". The film shown to our National Park Visitors, featuring our escarpment, is called "Life on the Edge", hence the Forum title.

We are working with Eric Fowle of the East Wisconsin Planning Commission in preparation for this event, and we expect to attract other officials and Wisconsin residents to the Forum. With luck, they will bring lots of their local wines and cheeses with them!

As usual, the Forum will include a Friday afternoon field trip, the Friday evening Film Festival with Dr. Stephen Scharper, and the Saturday evening social and dinner with keynote speaker.
