THE RCGS AND NAT GEO JOIN FORCES
Canadian Geographic
|September/October 2020
It’s the best of both worlds. The Royal Canadian Geographical Society, publisher of Canadian Geographic, and the National Geographic Society are formalizing an expanded partnership, the former combining its expertise and knowledge of Canada with the global reach of the latter. The ultimate goal? Collectively engaging individuals and youth in the wonders of the natural world and creating tomorrow’s leaders.
-
The first phase of this strengthened alliance is establishing the Trebek Council, a group that will oversee distributing grants to support the innovative and ambitious work of Canadian scientists, explorers, storytellers and educators. An expert panel will be selected to assess grant applications.
The council is named for the host of TV quiz show Jeopardy! who, in addition to serving as Honorary President of the RCGS, is also a champion of geographic literacy, having provided significant philanthropic support to both societies.
