OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, September 25, 2009 · 28 Discover why we get lost at Canadian Club Why do we get lost? The Canadian Club of Halton Peel guest speaker on Thursday, Oct. 15 could help navigate to an answer when he appears at the Oakville Conference Centre. Dr. Colin Ellard, professor of psychology at the University of Waterloo and director of its Research Laboratory for Immersive Virtual Environments, will speak at 7 p.m. at the centre at 2515 Wyecroft Rd. Registration is at 6 p.m., dinner is at 7 p.m. Tickets for members cost $30, $40 for non-member guests and $15 for students. Tickets are available from Barry Wylie at 905-827-6302 or e-mail bwylie@globalserve.net. Ellard is interested in how we understand and relate to the built and natural spaces that surround us, and how our knowledge of spatial cognition can inform decisions about design at scales ranging from the residence to the institutional building to the city itself. Ellard's work has been published widely in scientific literature for the past 20 years, but his recently published book Where Am I?: Why We Can Find Our Way to the Moon But Get Lost in the Mall was written for a general audience. In his talk, Ellard will describe some of the main ideas in his book and provide illustrations of the exciting new connections that are being made between those who build human spaces and the methods and principles of modern psychology.
