UBC Reads Sustainability with Jody Wilson-Raybould

March 13 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Free

How can just relations challenge colonialism? And how do we centre reconciliation and justice in climate solutions?

Hear from former Member of Parliament, former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, and bestselling author Jody Wilson-Raybould, while connecting with a community striving to contribute to decolonizing Canada and working towards climate justice.

March 13, 5-7pm PST

This event will be facilitated by the Honourable Steven Point, Chancellor of UBC and former Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. The Chancellor is a member of the Skowkale First Nation and has advocated for Indigenous people throughout his career, pressing for greater recognition of their contributions and their fuller involvement in all aspects of life in British Columbia.

Kristin Kozar, the Executive Director of the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre, will emcee the event. Kristin is a proud member of the Hwlitsum First Nation with familial ties to Penelekut, Lummi Tribe and the Musqueam Indian Band and also served on council for 6 years.

Presented in partnership by the Centre for Migration Studies, Edith Lando Virtual Learning Centre, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Education, Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre, Office of Wellbeing Strategy, Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions, Peter A. Allard School of Law, Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies, UBC Community Engagement, UBC Okanagan Library, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and UBC Sustainability Hub.
