SUMMARY:Feminist Reset: Centring Collective Care in a Post-Covid Future
DESCRIPTION:Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/472817213742327 \n\n\n\nJoin us for a night of conversation for International Women’s Day\, with El Jones\, Nora Loreto\, and Julianne Acker-Verney. \n\n\n\nJoin the conversation to discuss what our future post-Covid-19 could look like. The pandemic has had a tremendous impact on those who were already made vulnerable by social and economic systems that expects them to fill in gaps left in our society and institutions. What has also been brought to the fore is the power of social movements to push for change\, like the Black Lives Matter movement\, or the feminist movement. How do we work together to ensure that our future post-Covid-19 is one that centres collective care of each other and the planet\, and one that justly supports those needing\, providing and receiving care? \n\n\n\nHosted by CCPA-NS\, Wellness Within and Fernwood Publishing.Sponsored by Adsum for Women & Children; The Alexa McDonough Institute for Women\, Gender and Social Justice; Canadian Research Institute for Advancement of Women; Canadian Union of Public Employees Nova Scotia; Fernwood Publishing; and the Local Council of Women Halifax. \n\n\n\nRegister in advance to get the Zoom link: https://feministreset.eventbrite.ca \n\n\n\n*We will be posting a link of the recording to Facebook.

The panel looked into Lord Dalhousie’s views on race and put forward recommendations for how campus might be accountable for past and present connections to anti-Black racism. The University of Birmingham’s Centre for the Study of North America is delighted that Dr. Afua Cooper has accepted our invitation to tell us about the work of the panel she chaired\, and engage in dialogue about that panel’s report and its resonance for universities and wider communities on both sides of the Atlantic.

SUMMARY:Sandy Lake - Sackville River Regional Park: Will We Choose Nature?
DESCRIPTION:Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/158796476053268 \n\n\n\nGlobally\, biodiversity is in crisis in large part due to conversion of wild habitat. Locally\, we make choices about which natural areas stay\, and which ones get paved over. The proposed Sandy Lake – Sackville River Regional Park (in Halifax) is at this crossroad. This area has been proposed for protection for 50 years… and its fate may be sealed in 2021\, depending on the choices we make. In this talk\, Karen McKendry will share the story of Sandy Lake and Sackville River as a microcosm of the global forces that point us to the areas that must stay intact to survive\, yet pull us towards continuing our consumption of the landscape. \n\n\n\nKaren McKendry spent her childhood exploring the woods and waters of Ontario and Quebec. Her passion for the environment\, paired with a lot of hard work\, has earned her a BSc. in Ecology\, and Masters of Environmental Studies. Since moving to Nova Scotia in 2005\, Karen has worked as a conservation planner and biologist\, and environmental advocate. With Ecology Action Centre she tackles Wilderness-related issues\, which includes advocating for better protection of our biodiversity through the creation of parks and protected areas\, education\, and other means. She engages with HRM staff and council on proposed developments\, regional plans\, and parks. \n\n\n\nJoin us on Zoom or submit your questions in the chat on Facebook Live. \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86324043543… \n\n\n\nThis virtual event is taking place in Mi’kma’ki\, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people.
