About the National Parks Project

In the tradition of the Group of Seven, Margaret Atwood's Survival and other cultural touchstones, the National Parks Project aims to explore the ways in which the wilderness shapes our cultural imagination. The core of the project is the parks themselves — places that most Canadians never visit, but are nonetheless amazing and inspirational parts of the country we call home.

About Catl 

"These Torontonians' rough-hewn scuzz-blues joints and pained acoustic laments make you wanna gulp down a 26er of Wild Turkey, sweat buckets and put your fist through something. Unhinged fun." —Ben Rayner, Toronto Star

Catl is "one of the most exciting blues band on the Toronto scene for years" (Tim Perlich, NOW Toronto), creating an original blues sound that's been described as raw primordial and warped. Such descriptions come as no surprise given their history of punk-influenced rock ‘n’ roll (catl in Pecola; drummer Johnny LaRue in The Exploders and No No Zero; and Sarah Kirkpatrick in Shitt Hott).

Enter to Win!

Enter to win four tickets to the July 14th event and Canada's National Parks book. The winner and three friends get to enjoy a live outdoor concert by the band catl and a screening of the National Parks Project on the patio at the Amsterdam Brewery.

Contest closes on Monday, July 11th, 2011.
