Warren (he/him) has lived his entire life in Calgary on Treaty 7 land and considers himself to be a Biology teacher always in transition: he is searching for ways to reconnect youth to the natural world. He started his career in 1995 with the Canadian Rockies School Division teaching at Canmore Collegiate High School for 18 years. His focus was to find ways to help students find a passion for the study of biological sciences. During his time in Canmore, Warren looked to pursue ocean studies by taking groups of interested students on Marine Biology trips to Bamfield Marine Science Station. This allowed the opportunity to introduce students to an ocean ecosystem not often discussed in the curricular setting in Alberta. Warren pursued an opportunity to move back into Calgary and helped open a new high school in Calgary, Robert Thirsk High School, and continues to teach here to the present. The enticement back to the city was to envision and create a Natural Science program that would reignite the awe, wonder and excitement of nature in high school students and show them the future these reconnections can create. The program has grown to encompass opportunities for Grades 10-12 and continues to evolve as students participate in the experiences offered. Warren Lake continues to take students to Bamfield every 2 years and has now established a trip to Kluane Lake in the Yukon with the Arctic Institute of North America to highlight northern science, indigenous knowledge and adventure travel. It is in this aspect that Warren will be joining up with Howl Experiences by continuing to develop a burgeoning educational program and experience in the North with the Arctic Institute. The journey to shine a light on unique and important ecosystems will continue to be a challenge that shifts and flows with the topics that abound in environmental education and in the need to build a greater sense of nature literacy with youth.
