Canadian conservationist, writer, and broadcaster David Suzuki will be joined onstage by Dasho Kinley Dorji, journalist and Secretary of Information and Communications for the mountain kingdom of Bhutan. Their subject? Gross National Happiness, and how the concept might benefit the world at large. Dorji, former editor-in-chief of Bhutan’s national newspaper, is well-placed to explain the concept of Gross National Happiness, a measure of quality of life and social progress.

He wrote the screenplay for the IMAX film The Alps, and has published 12 books, including Himalaya Alpine Style which was translated into four languages and won the Grand Prize in the 1996 Banff Mountain Book Competition.


Cold Wars | Andy Kirkpatrick12:30 – 1:45 p.M. | MAx BeLL AuDITORIuM | $13

Big wall climber Andy Kirkpatrick’s latest book, Cold Wars, digs deep into the habitually sombre but frequently hysterical business of being a full-time climber. It’s got sketchy mid-winter bivouacs, suffering, failures, and terrifying close calls. But it also contains a subtle and often comical exploration of what it means to be a family man.
