Presented in partnership by the Stratford Public Library and the University of Waterloo Stratford Campus: Six Big Ideas to Improve Health Care for All Canadians. Canada’s health care system was built on a promise we can all be proud of: the promise of access to services based on need, rather than the ability to pay. We can continue to be proud of that promise, but to deliver on it, health care needs to be improved. Dr. Danielle Martin will walk us through ways of doing just that.

Stratford Campus is celebrating student talents and accomplishments in their most exciting Project Showcase yet! Meet students, mingle with Stratford faculty, industry, and community partners, and see the incredible work developed by students and their mentors at the Stratford Campus.

The Critical Media Lab in downtown Kitchener is the place to be this Friday evening. Two year-end class projects will be on interactive display. Digital Playground is the final project of CS/FINE 383 Computational Art - the course jointly offered by Fine Arts and Computer Science; Codes of Conduct is the annual exhibition of the MA in Experimental Digital Media (XDM) program offered by English.

The University of Waterloo Art Gallery (UWAG) and the MFA program in Fine Arts present MFA Thesis Two, the second and final graduation exhibition of the work by MFA students. This exhibit features installations by MFA candidates Aaron MacLean and Tait Wilman. Opening reception on Thursday, May 3 from 5:00 to 8:00.PM.

Canada is legalizing cannabis but there is still much to learn. Join our Community Dialogues event in Stratford and get the information you need on this hot-button topic with industry insiders. Michelle Davis and James Eaves will discuss legislation, access to and responsible use of medical cannabis, as well as innovations in the cannabis industry and how it all relates to our community.

Music has long been a constant companion to many aspects of the human condition. It can invite people to dance or offer comfort in times of distress; it can be used in reverence of God, or offer commentary on life’s great joys and tribulations.

The music for this concert is a collection of enchanting and beautiful compositions from all over Europe and England. The incomparable Beethoven wakes us to the evils of politics, dishonesty, and murder in his dramatic overture to Coriolan. A fitting overture for an election year...
