What is the future of gender in Canadian society?

Join us at Central Library on Monday, April 9, at 7pm to take a 360° look at the way we think about gender as a society — a retrospective on the story thus far, and a speculative reflection about the future. How do global and national trends influence our immediate community? Full details at curiouspublic.com/events/gender/

Film Screening: Us and Them

Join us for a screening of the film Us & Them. Filmed over a decade, Us and Them is a deeply visceral film about transformation through human connection. Using the First Nations Medicine Wheel, a woman sets out to help four homeless people but they end up helping her. Featuring Dr. Gabor Maté, Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr., and Reverend Al Tysick, this film digs deep into addiction and homelessness. Panel discussion to follow.
