[All] FW: Gordon Laxer - Public Lecture

[Gregory C. Michalenko]

This looks like a fine event, a fine collaboration of a progressive professor, community groups, and that fine civic institution, the Kitchener Public Library demonstrating that it really is a PUBLIC library.

Dear Faculty of Environment Faculty and Students,

Gordon Laxer is coming to KW to give a public lecture on his new book, After the Sands: Energy and Ecological Security for Canadians (http://www.douglas-mcintyre.com/book/after-the-sands). Impeccably researched, After the Sands is critical reading for anyone concerned about rising sea levels, pipeline and tanker spills, climate change chaos and Canada’s future in a carbon restricted world. Ralph Nader hails it as a myth-destroying blockbuster book.

The talk will be followed by comments from Myeengun Henry (Chippewas of the Thames First Nation), Laura McDonald (Divest Waterloo), and Pamudi Abeysekara (UW Political Science student) to relate Laxera’s work to local struggles and opportunities.

Wednesday, April 6th, 7:00-8:30 (note that community groups will have information tables outside the theatre starting at 6:30)
Kitchener Public Library, Central Library Theatre, 85 Queen Street North, downtown Kitchener

The event is free and open to the public and everyone is welcome! Please register here: http://afterthesands.ticketfi.com<http://afterthesands.ticketfi.com/>
