About this Event
Sip & Learn and Arcadia Earth come together for a special Earth Month evening inside one of Toronto’s most immersive environmental exhibits.
Arcadia Earth is an interactive, multi-sensory experience that uses art and technology to show how human actions shape the planet. For this collaboration, the exhibit becomes the setting for an evening that begins socially, moves into a live lecture, and ends with guests exploring the installations themselves.
The night centers on a lecture by Dr. Jennifer Korosi, who studies lakes by uncovering what they’ve been holding onto for decades. Beneath the surface, lake sediments preserve a record of pollution, disruption, and in some cases, recovery.
We tend to assume that once damage stops, nature finds its way back. This lecture pushes on that assumption and asks a sharper question, why do some lakes return to life while others never fully recover?
Using real cases from acidified lakes in Eastern Canada and regions shaped by gold mining in Northern Canada, she traces how pollution reshapes ecosystems over time, what determines whether a lake rebounds or stays altered, and what that means for how we think about environmental recovery more broadly.
Your ticket includes one drink and a selection of sushi bites to start the evening, followed by a 45-minute lecture and Q&A, and time to move through the Arcadia Earth exhibit at your own pace.
