Bikes! featuring Peter Hebink & Ewa Dembek

Peter Heebink is an avid cyclist who has explored all things related to cycling in the Yukon and abroad. He will share some of his adventures of road bike racing, mountain biking, and winter fat biking in the Yukon as well as sharing some of his favorite destinations in the world for cycle touring and different ways to do it.

Ewa is a Yukon adventurer whose travels have taken her trekking across the Canadian high arctic, climbing up the slopes of Africa’s Mt. Kilimanjaro and kayaking over Alaskan waters on the Pacific coast. Her latest expedition was inspired by a deeply personal family story – the forced deportation of her mother from Poland during WWII.   Ewa will share some general information on why bicycles are the perfect slow travel vehicle, while highlighting some of her experiences on the 8000 km trip from Poland through Central Asia and into Iran.

Join our elders and storytellers as they share tales about life in the Yukon on foot, with dogs and horses, planes, trains and automobiles – even their thoughts about the future. Stories of survival, romance, perseverance, and everyday life. Come and share yours and help us bring history alive.
