AM Series
Water, it covers over 70% of our planet and is essential to all life on Earth.
This series will examine the management and protection of our water supply from local concerns to global challenges ensuring a clean, safe and adequate water supply. Speakers will discuss water systems in Ontario such as the Grand River watershed, designated as a Heritage River 30 years ago. We will continue with talks on water advocacy, indigenous perspectives on water and the need for water security as well as the part water plays in our health and economy.
This is such an important topic with so many experts eager to share their knowledge that we found it challenging to limit this series to eight lectures. We hope you will enjoy our choice of topics from many different perspectives on this vital issue.
PM Series
Join us for an exploration of Human Migration. Human Migration is a fundamental experience of human history. It has shaped societies, cultures and economies across the world. In 2024, the world is divided on how to cope with an ever-increasing number of people who wish to migrate for a variety of reasons. For many of them, the decision is crucial, and life-threatening. In this 8-week lecture series we will explore the "who, what, when, where, why, and how" of human migration and look at what is happening now across the globe. We will also examine the increasing importance of the factor of climate change and what we might expect in the near and far future.
