September 23, 2026 @ 7pm: Dave Ellis “Wildlife Photography”

Location: Peterborough Lions Centre, Burnham St. Ptbo

Guests are welcome for $5.

Join us in welcoming Dave Ellis to our stage. You may know Dave’s work from his weekly column in the Peterborough This Week and Kawartha Lakes This Week newspapers.

He began writing a wildlife photo column for them in 2018 and continued until the newspapers ceased publishing in 2023. His column and photos were moved over to the Peterborough Examiner where he continues to write a column each week.

His photos have also been featured in Outdoor Canada Magazine, Canadian Geographic Magazine, The Toronto Star, PTBO News Canada, and in John McQuarrie’s coffee table book “Peterborough – Spirit of Place”. Each year Dave and his wife, Astrid publish a calendar featuring the wildlife of Kawartha Lakes.

Originally from the Annapolis Valley, NS, Dave spent some time in Toronto before moving to Omemee in 2001. He and Astrid took up wildlife photography as a hobby in 2016.

Dave enjoys sharing his photographs and the stories they go with them at presentations all around the Kawarthas.  

We look forward to seeing the natural world through Dave’s lens.
