Chris Czajkowski is an experienced and entertaining speaker who has been amusing packed auditoriums in British Columbia and Alberta for the last twenty years. Her hosts have included garden groups, women's groups, museums, naturalist groups, libraries, writers festivals and hiking clubs. Notable venues have been: |
- Vandusen Gardens
- Vancouver Central Library
- BC Federation of Naturalists AGM dinner speaker
- Sechelt Festival of the Written Arts
Her photography is of sufficient standard to be used in magazine articles and books to illustrate her work. All images on the web site, bar the portrait, are also hers.
The talks describe Chris' wilderness life: how she built her own cabins single-handedly and copes with life on a high-altitude, fly-in lake at least a day-and-a-half's walk from the nearest road. The slides are changed for each group to reflect the audience's interest. Chris' expertise is the alpine plants of her area and botany lovers will be delighted with her colourful portrayal of her "back yard."
Chris asks for accommodation and a fee of $150 to $250, depending what the group can afford. Venues should hold at least 40 people; preferred venues are 100 or more.
