Due to the climate crisis, the weather in Toronto is getting hotter, wetter and wilder. Who feels the harshest impacts of our warming climate? 

People who live, work and play in the most polluted areas are Indigenous, Black and other equity-seeking groups. In this discussion, Humber's Sustainability Manager, Devon Fernandes, will introduce the concept of environmental racism and how it is negatively impacting Canada's most vulnerable communities. He will also showcase examples of resilience and leadership to address environmental racism. 

This event is in collaboration with Indigenous Education & Engagement, The BASE Program, LGBTQ+ Resource Centre and the Office of Sustainability. 

When: April 8, 2021 from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Where: Zoom
