Pin on a mission

Astronaut Steve MacLean (LEFT) presents RCGS President Gisèle Jacob with the Society pin he took on the space shuttle Atlantis in 2006. The pin orbited the Earth 186 times and travelled 7.84 million kilometres, says MacLean, who was guest speaker at the annual RCGS College of Fellows dinner in November. He will share stories of his mission with the public during the Society’s Speaker Series in April.

The Summits of Canada – an expedition to climb the highest peaks in all provinces and territories. “Welcome to an historic expedition to tell Canadians and the world about Canada. The legacy of this quest is not the footprints we will leave on the mountains, but the impact on people’s lives. Together we can make a difference, one step at a time.”

— James Coleridge, Expedition Leader,
Summits of Canada
