Presentation by Parc Safari: They are known to be the fastest land mammals with a maximum speed of 110 km/h in 3.6 seconds. They are easily recognized with their yellow fur lined with black spots. There are only 8,000 of these creatures left in the wild today, a number that leaves them as Africa’s most endangered feline. That’s right, we’re talking about the Cheetah, and International Cheetah Day celebrates these incredible animals while raising awareness about their threat of extinction. Join us December 7th as we talk about those magnificent predators and how to protect them. Bilingual.  For all ages. Everyone welcome, no reservation necessary. In Auditorium.

Land Acknowledgement

McGill University is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.


Rematriation, Repatriation and Restitution Statement

We acknowledge that the return and restitution of cultural and natural heritage to communities of origin is an essential part of reconciliation and of recognizing the fundamental rights of Indigenous Peoples. As part of wider efforts to activate the standards presented in the Canadian Museums Association Report Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums (2022), the Redpath is working towards pro-active restitution practices. As per our Collections Management Policy (2024), repatriation requests will be received by the Redpath Museum Director and will be treated on a case-by-case basis.
