"MEC and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society share a history of supporting Canadian explorers," said Caitlin Brown, community manager at MEC. "We're excited to support this grant, which celebrates Canada's community of outdoor explorers and filmmakers , providing them with the space to share their diverse stories of adventure and exploration. The Exploration Film Grant is an example of how, together with the RCGS, we can bring light to important issues through the lens of film."
