International Polar Year 2007-2008 will expand our understanding of the polar regions, especially the complex interactions between physical, biological and human dimensions. Canadian participation, planning and support for IPY activities is advancing rapidly, and this poster will highlight recent developments in science and research projects, community partnership, private sector participation, youth engagement, education and outreach programs.
