Values in Action: Reflecting on What's Important

We are all driven by our values. Have you wondered what are the values that energize you? Our values direct how we prioritize things in our lives, how we make decisions, and what actions we take, at every moment. 

At the Office of Research & Innovation (ORI), we work holistically through values-based leadership. We want to invite you to an engaging, reflective and fun event, an afternoon with Dr. Cheryl De Ciantis and Dr. Kenton Hyatt, co-founders of KAIRIOS “Values in Action.” 

This is ORI’s way of expressing gratitude and appreciation for your continuous support in assisting us to deliver on our collaborative endeavours from time to time. Through this values journey, we want to show you that we heartily acknowledge your efforts and contributions and that we care.

Join us and let us take you through a “values journey”—coupled with afternoon tea, cookies and laughter.

Please RSVP here to save your spot!

Join the Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre for free, drop-in paint nights every Wednesday evenings in June from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The heart of Our Community Rocks is to spread kindness, celebrate community, and support the environment.

Paint your rocks with a message or picture that demonstrates all the ways that our community rocks! These could be values such as nature, friendship, togetherness, hope, strength, or innovate your own to express what is important to you as a community member and what values you believe are important to the Lakeshore Grounds community.

The painted rocks will be on display from May through June 2022 to demonstrate the creativity, kindness, and innovation our community holds. After the display is complete, rocks will be carried to the shore to restore and rebuild the shoreline, contributing to sustaining the natural and built environments we share. We welcome all ages, skills levels, and creativity to contribute to the community mosaic project.

Together we create; build; restore.

LGBTQ+ Resource Center Invites you to a book reading of Angry Somali Boy: A Complicated Memoir by Toronto-based author Mohamed Abdulkarim Ali.

Book Description 

Kidnapped by his father on the eve of Somalia's societal implosion, Mohamed Ali was taken first to the Netherlands by his stepmother, and then later on to Canada. Unmoored from his birth family and caught between twin alienating forces of Somali tradition and Western culture, Mohamed must forge his own queer coming of age. What follows in this fierce and unrelenting account is a story of one young man's nascent sexuality fused with the violence wrought by displacement. 

Author 

Mohamed Abdulkarim Ali was born in 1985 in Mogadishu and today calls Toronto home. He's currently working on his second book.

Date/Time: Monday, June 6, at 1 p.m.

This is a virtual event and will be held on Zoom. 

First five registrants will receive a copy of Angry Queer Somali Boy as a gift.
