Wilderness Bondar Challenge Winners
In partnership with Parks Canada, we are pleased to announce the winners of the 2022 Wilderness Bondar Challenge. While previous challenges were held at the Sweetgrass Field Station in Wood Buffalo National Park, this year’s challenge took place in various natural areas in the Fort Smith area. These images by students from PWK High School, Fort Smith, NWT, may travel with The Foundation’s Travelling Exhibition and Learning Experience.
