The official Halifax launch of

Sanctuary: The Story of Naturalist Mary Majka
Deborah Carr


Mary Majka, a Polish-Canadian immigrant, survived personal tragedy and =20=

incarceration at a forced labour camp during World War II to become a =20=

pioneer in Canada=92s environmental movement, an advocate for the =20
protection of wildlife, and a proponent for heritage preservation. She =20=

hosted the children=92s TV show =91Have You Seen?=92, started the first =20=

children=92s nature centre in a national park, and fought to create the =20=

internationally acclaimed Mary=92s Point Western Hemispheric Shorebird =20=

Reserve on the Bay of Fundy. Mary=92s selfless actions have served as an =
=20
example to others, inspiring them to excel in new directions. Here, =20
perhaps, lies her greatest legacy and lesson: that our collective =20
survival depends on caring for that which sustains us . . . not only =20
our past and planet, but also our relationships with each other.

Written in a style that honours Mary=92s own penchant for storytelling, =20=

Sanctuary: The Story of Naturalist Mary Majka gives full expression to =20=

the monument that is Mary Majka=92s life and her passionate commitment =20=

to preserving the environment for generations to come. Sanctuary =20
engages the reader in a shared remembering, as well as providing a =20
vivid glimpse into the Mary of today: aging, flawed, and feisty.
