About this Event
We are joined by Dr. Sarah Alexander (Water Watchers), Dr. Romila Verma (Water Speaks), and Bethany Lee (Protect Our Water Source) for a discussion on water as a unifying lens!
The event will introduce water advocacy to an audience from diverse backgrounds, with an interdisciplinary focus on various water topics. The event will screen the short film Poplar River (provided courtesy of the National Film Board of Canada), followed by the speaker panel discussion.
In addition to the main event, the event will showcase mixed-media student submissions about their connection to, or thoughts on, water. Featuring internationally recognized Toronto-based photographer Meaghan Ogilvie, the showcase will include illustrations, poetry, and photography. Attendees will be welcome to view the showcase after the panel discussion and to add their own thoughts and reflections via sticky notes or paper if they wish.
There will also be free chocolate available from ChocoSol!
