Monarch Ultra Film Screening
A powerful documentary following a 4,300 km relay run tracing the migration path of monarch butterflies from Peterborough, Ontario, to Central Mexico. Driven by concern for the decline of pollinators, forty-six ultra runners each covered 50–100 km legs, their determination reflecting the monarchs’ epic journey.
The film explores:
🌿 The environmental impact on pollinator populations
🏃 The mental and physical endurance of ultra running
🤝 Community efforts to protect vital ecosystems
Presented in partnership with Pollinate Collingwood and the Collingwood Public Library, this moving documentary highlights the connection between human endurance and environmental activism — an inspiring reminder of the collective strength needed to safeguard nature’s smallest travellers.
