Our next Enviro-Cafe: Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 7 pm, featuring Barbara Kraus, a Haliburton Highlands resident.
Barbara has travelled extensively to the Arctic where she works as a language and botany interpreter aboard an expedition ship. She continues to be riveted by the beauty of the land, the kindness of its people, and the diversity of Inuit culture. Barbara will give a virtual presentation entitled:
A Shifting Landscape: How Climate Change is Affecting the Canadian Arctic
The Arctic is warming 4 times faster than the remainder of the world, and yet those changes can seem imperceptible in a vast and sparsely populated region that few ever visit once in a lifetime, if at all. Tonight’s presentation will discuss the effects of climate change in the Canadian Arctic observed over the past 20 years and what that potentially means for the future of our Arctic fauna, flora, and inhabitants.

Born and raised in Toronto and Mississauga, Barbara moved to Europe as a young adult to pursue her studies. She holds a Master’s degree in applied linguistics and is an accredited medical translator.
After 25 years of living in Europe, Barbara came back to Toronto where she lived for another 20 years pursuing a career in business. It was then she decided it was time to reconnect with her love of nature and the outdoors. Together with her husband, Reiner Arnold, they bought Tamarack Lodge, a cottage resort located on motorless Tamarack Lake in the Haliburton Highlands and have transformed the Lodge into a small-group retreat space that is a haven for nature lovers to find a peaceful place to enjoy nature.
After returning to Canada from Europe, Barbara discovered the great Canadian north. She has travelled extensively to the Arctic where she works as a language and botany interpreter aboard an expedition ship. She continues to be rivetted by the beauty of the land, the kindness of its people, and the diversity of Inuit culture.
