Chimps champ's doc walk
The capital region is the first stop on celebrated primatologist and animal activist Dr. Jane Goodall's latest tour. Presented by the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada and the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies, Goodall will be attending a $160 per ticket VIP cocktail reception at the Canadian Museum of Civilization on Wednesday, Mar. 21, before screening her 2010 documentary Jane's Journey (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1326283/) there. A Q&A session and book signing is scheduled to follow the movie.
“'Jane’s Journey' is an intimate portrait of the private person behind the world-famous icon – an exceptional woman, possibly the most fascinating woman of our time, whose scientific breakthroughs are considered to be among the most important of the past 100 years." - http://www.janesjourney.net/
As well as the VIP tickets, a less expensive $55 package is available to those uninterested in the pre-show cocktail reception. Goodall's public tour, screening and book signing then continues to Toronto's Bloor Hot Docs Cinema Thursday and the Ontario Science Centre there Friday, before ending Sunday at Sudbury's Laurentian University. She's then slated to attend this year's Roots & Shoots Conference held exclusively for teachers and students at Sudbury's Science North on Monday, Mar. 26.

Co-founded by Dr. Goodall in 1991, "Roots & Shoots is the Jane Goodall Institute's international environmental and humanitarian program for youth of all ages. It is a fun and exciting way for young people to learn about problems and issues in their local communities and then discover ways to make the world a better place." - http://www.rootsandshoots.org/
Goodall, who was presented the Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in 1995, published her most recent book Hope for Animals and Their World: How Endangered Species Are Being Rescued from the Brink in 2009.
"In October of 1960, Jane witnessed chimpanzees making and using tools. To that point, tool-making had been considered one of the defining characteristics of humankind. Just a few days later, Jane observed chimps hunting bush pigs, colobus monkeys and other small mammals for meat. These discoveries were monumental findings further solidifying humans' undeniable link to chimpanzees." - http://www.janegoodall.ca/
