Trevor and Scott Haldane
Scott Haldane Scott’s dad, Gib, was an avid birdwatcher and canoe camper who had an astounding knowledge of the natural world. Gib’s influence made a lasting impression on his eldest son. Scott’s interest in photography began with backpacking trips across Europe in the mid-1970s and has continued through more than five decades. As the former CEO of YMCA Canada and the Rideau Hall Foundation, as well as a travel enthusiast, Scott has travelled around the world and has made a point to explore new places and photograph his experiences to learn more about diverse communities and cultures. When the pandemic hit Canada in March 2020 and travel plans were put on hold, Scott refocused his camera on the incredible variety of wildlife in and around the forests, ponds and rivers of the Ottawa/Gatineau region. As his son, Trevor, discovered the same passion, father and son built on their close relationship through a shared passion for nature and the trails that give them access to the wild world.

Trevor Haldane Trevor learned to love the outdoors from an early age, through canoe trips with his grandad and summers at camp. Six years ago, Trevor started photographing wildlife in the parks and ravines of Toronto. This part-time hobby blossomed into a full-time passion during the COVID-19 pandemic. He found the quiet, active lifestyle, and focus of wildlife photography to be a great boost to his mental health during those stressful times. In 2020, Trevor moved from Toronto, Ontario, to Fernie, British Columbia. He was thrilled to enter a new landscape, home to a vast array of wildlife. He has since kept himself busy photographing bees, bears and everything in between. Wildlife across Canada: Animal Behaviour through the Photographer’s Eye Amateur wildlife photographers and passionate nature enthusiasts, father and son duo Scott and Trevor Haldane will use their compelling photographs of Canadian wildlife to highlight the behaviour of mammals, birds and other species. They will discuss the strategies that help animals adapt and thrive in their environment, as well as the challenges they face as a result of human-caused changes to their world. The presentation will feature stunning images and video captured in Fernie, B.C., Ottawa/Gatineau and other parts of Canada.
