About this Event
In partnership with Zonta Club of Toronto, join Museum of Toronto for an evening exploring how women are shaping the future of our cities through climate science, environmental leadership, and innovation.
Who designs the future of our city—and our planet? How can diverse ways of knowing influence climate action, green technology, and engineering solutions that work for everyone?
Featuring Cheryl Teelucksingh, this conversation reflects on this year’s Earth Week theme, Our Power, Our Planet, and the role of women in imagining more equitable and sustainable futures.
Dr. Cheryl Teelucksingh is a Toronto-based sociologist and Professor in the Department of Sociology at Toronto Metropolitan University, where she also serves as Department Chair. Her research over the past two decades has focused on environmental justice, racialization, and the intersection of social inequality and urban life in Canada. Through both academic scholarship and community-based research, Dr. Teelucksingh has examined how issues such as climate change, urban development, and access to green space disproportionately affect marginalized communities. Actively engaged with community and environmental organizations, she brings a deeply collaborative and justice-oriented approach to understanding and transforming cities like Toronto.
The evening also includes time to explore The 52 exhibition and connect with fellow attendees.
About the Exhibition
Did you know that 52% of Torontonians are women? The 52: Stories of Women Who Transformed Toronto is Museum of Toronto’s latest exhibition that brings their stories to life. It celebrates the impact women have had on our city, our country, and the world — highlighting 52 individuals whose contributions have shaped Toronto as we know it.
Spanning from the 1800s to today, the exhibition shines a spotlight on change-makers, rebels, and revolutionaries within Toronto’s 52%. Some names may be familiar; others are being shared widely for the first time. Together, their stories reveal the rich and often overlooked histories of the women who built this city.
