Think you know all about Arctic wildlife? Canon Canada Ambassador, Jacquie Matechuk, has some insights that might make you think again.
About this Event

Join Canon Canada Ambassador, Jacquie Matechuk for an unexpected deep dive into the secret lives of some of the Arctic’s most misunderstood characters. Meet the walrus: tusked, wrinkled, and surprisingly social (unless you interrupt nap time). Get to know the fulmar, a deceptively cute seabird with a habit of projectile vomiting when annoyed. And of course, the polar bear—equal parts majestic predator and snow giant who glides across ice like a dancer. Through powerful imagery, offbeat facts, and a few unforgettable field stories, Jacquie offers a fresh look at what survival—and personality—really looks like at the top of the world.

As a Canon Canada Ambassador based out of Cochrane, Alberta, Jacquie Matechuk embraces the opportunity to spend time with her fellow photographers, helping them to improve and nurture their inspiration while also creating lasting, impactful imagery to campaign for conservation efforts around the world. Jacquie’s broad portfolio features everything from globally acclaimed epic scenery and iconic architecture to all forms of wildlife, travel and professional sports. And her work has more recently been featured in conservation efforts driven by organizations such as the Jane Goodall Foundation, the Canadian Conservation Collective, the Grizzly Bear Foundation, to name a few.

Her personal journey and photographic diversity are fuelled by her commitment to celebrating the world around her. And today, her vision, those moments have resulted in numerous international awards including, Nature Photographer of the Year, inFocus Gold Medalist, World Cup Gold & Bronze Medallist, International Visionary Awards Gold Medallist, Canadian Commercial Photographer of the Year and Master of Photographic Arts

Whether she's photographing rink side at NHL game or clambering the valleys of the Ecuadorian Andes, whatever her subject and wherever it takes her, Jacquie’s goal remains the same. Put your audience in the moment, set their minds free and leave their hearts full.
