The rich content will be taught over 100 hours of lectures, innovative exercises, special guests, site visits, hands-on activities, and design work. We will start with permaculture principles and ethics, moving into design methodologies, which includes observation skills. We will further create a foundation with the earth and life sciences, and journey through natural and cultivated ecologies. For our home systems, we will look at natural building, renewable energy systems, biological waste treatment systems, and food storage. Beyond individual homes, we will explore various forms of sustainable communities, which include green economics and cultural systems. </span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Students will be supported with quality mentorship in their personal and professional paths. We will be developing skills as permaculture designers throughout the course, which will culminate in a final wholistic design project. Field trips and locations will showcase what Toronto is doing on the eco-front. There will be some evening and weekend sessions, which will be open to people not on the full course. </span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">For more info and registration: <a href="http://gardenjane.com/workshopsandevents/permaculturecourse.html">http://gardenjane.com/workshopsandevents/permaculturecourse.html</a></span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Interested in joining our food team that will be providing students with Healthy, Nutritious, DELICIOUS food?</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://www.gardenjane.com/permaculturefoodteam.html">http://www.gardenjane.com/permaculturefoodteam.html</a></span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Contact Petra: 416.732.8965 </span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#ab00a1"><b>Wen-Do Women's Self Defence workshops <br></b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Women and girls: this is a great opportunity to...</span><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">• learn simple, effective physical and verbal self-defence skills,</span><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">• develop your ability to recognize and deal with potentially dangerous situations, </span><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">• increase your confidence, and </span><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">• have fun!</span><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>ONE-DAY WORKSHOP IN MARCH<br><br>Sunday, March 24, 9:45 am-5:30 pm<br>Roncesvalles Ave south of Bloor St W<br>Open to: Women and girls age 10 and up<br>Fee: $100.

Ignoring scientific evidence, industry and political leaders with vested economic interests in fossil fuels engage in practices of deceit and corruption, shaping regulations and undermining democratic processes. The film examines tactics by the Koch Brothers, ExxonMobil and prominent politicians who are more concerned about profits than the future of the world’s population. Filmed over two years and across nine countries, Rosebraugh’s interviews feature many of the world’s leading scientists, experts, advocates and skeptics, presenting an alarming document of the absurdity and dangers of an environmental smear campaign. </span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Director Craig Scott Rosebraugh will participate in a Skype Q&A on Friday, March 15, at 9 p.m., and Saturday, March 16, at 7 p.m.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://bloorcinema.com/movies/Greedy-Lying-Bastards/">http://bloorcinema.com/movies/Greedy-Lying-Bastards/</a></span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#cf0000"><b>Traditional Ecological Knowledge is Critical to Conservation<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">with Algonquin Elder Jacob Wawatie (Algonquin Anicinabe)</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Monday March 18, 6 - 8 pm</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Room 4001, Faculty of Forestry, U of T, 33 Willcocks Street</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">An elder and other community leaders from Barriere Lake (Algonquin) will be travelling to Toronto to speak about an indigenous-led vision for conservation of their lands, wildlife and waters.

In response, marketing companies try to draw our attention by eroticizing even younger girls. The goal is to catch our attention, brand their products and ensure our loyalty. In order to provide social context for this trend, Lilia Goldfarb will look at the connections between the sexualization of girls and corporate the marketing strategies of the industries that profit from this. She will also look at the health consequences of these practices. Goldfarb will explore strategies to encourage sex-more positive notions of sexuality and empowerment among girls and young women in a culture that can easily erode their self-confidence.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#00879b"><b>Chasing Ice<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Tues.

Hosted by CBC journalist Karin Wells with co-panelist Stuart Trew, Trade Campaigner at the Council of Canadians, Vidalina will speak of the struggle to ban metal mining in El Salvador. In 2008, the Salvadoran President declared an effective moratorium on mining projects. In response, two multinational mining corporations, Vancouver-based Pacific Rim Mining and Milwaukee-based Commerce Group, filed lawsuits against El Salvador in a World Bank trade tribunal for tens of millions of dollars. El Salvador is in the midst of a monumental battle to protect water and community wellbeing from industrial mining projects, as it seriously considers becoming the first country in the world to ban large-scale metals mining. Morales is from an area of El Salvador threatened by a number of mining projects and as a member of the Mesa, Morales has been on the front lines of the struggle. Come hear more with others about this struggle and what we can do!</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br><a href="mailto:justice@united-church.ca">justice@united-church.ca</a> -- <a href="http://canadians.org/blog/?p=19509">http://canadians.org/blog/?p=19509</a><br>Toronto event organized by Partners in Mission/The United Church of Canada, KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives, The Council of Canadians<br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="5" color="#1c5ad7"><b>Update on Clean Train Legal Challenge</b></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Wed.

But there are major players in the energy debate that want to keep us burning more. In the past five years this debate has reached a significant turning point with the development of hydrofracturing for oil and gas production. Is this the dawning of a new golden age of cheap energy—or the last gasp of a fuel industry in steep decline?<br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/512868155431904/">https://www.facebook.com/events/512868155431904/</a><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div></div></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#d27100"><b>Managing Without Growth: Slower by Design, Not Disaster<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">With Peter Victor, Professor of Environmental Studies, York University</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Thur.

A minimum wage increase is an investment in healthy communities and good jobs for workers in Ontario. On March 21st, the first day of spring and the International Day for the Elimination of Racism, communities around Ontario will be coming together for a decent minimum wage. Get involved!

But just how far has it brought us, and how relevant is it today? Status Quo? asks these questions and uncovers provocative - at times shocking - answers about the evolution of women's equality in Canada. Interweaving a wealth of dynamic archival material with startling contemporary stories, the film situates the vibrant Canadian women's movement in its history-making context. In 1967 the landmark Royal Commission on the Status of Women made recommendations to address the inequalities faced by women. <br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Status Quo? zeroes in on key concerns such as violence against women, access to abortion, and universal childcare, asking how much progress we have truly made on these issues. Status Quo? is crucial viewing for every Canadian, especially those unfamiliar with the vital achievements of the feminist movement. This striking, in-depth documentary pays homage to Canada's feminist forerunners and raises important questions about where and how we should move on from here. <br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/489466797781091/">https://www.facebook.com/events/489466797781091/</a></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div></div></div></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#cb5100"><b>Open Pit</b></font><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">2011, 90 minutes <br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Friday, March 22 – 7 p.m. <br></span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">OISE, 252 Bloor St. West , Room 2-212 (St. George Subway Station:.<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Everyone welcome. $4 donation requested. <br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Open Pit explores the impacts of gold mining, one of the most lucrative industries in the world. In the remote highlands of Cajamarca in Peru operates the Yanacocha mine, the most profitable goldmine in the world. Constantly taking over more land and impacting the environment, the mine is conflicting with the natives and their way of life based on agriculture and farming. The film explores the impacts of gold mining on the social, economic and political life of the country.

In this adventurous and revelatory look into the disappearance and recent resurfacing of these historic waterways, Lost Rivers leads us down the drain into vast underground museums of urban development. Guiding us through the hidden river networks of London, Brescia (Italy), Montreal and Toronto, intrepid groups of subterranean explorers known as “drainers” reveal the buried waterways that house the secrets of each city’s past. Exploring recent initiatives to resurface and revitalize these forgotten waterways in Yonkers and Seoul, the fascinating Lost Rivers brings to life an aspect of urban ecology that has long been kept secret.
