P. Whitney Lackenbauer will moderate a discussion between fellow historians Patrice Dutil, Daniel Heidt, Marcel Martel, Robert Wardhaugh and political scientist Jacqueline Krikorian, around the major political agreements, battles and conflicting visions that surrounded each province’s entry into Confederation between 1865 and 1949.

Along the way, they will discuss the success and failure of these many visions, describe how they shaped present-day politics, and evaluate whether - and how - we should celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary.

Join the UW Choir in an exploration of some of the most inspiring and beautiful choral music inspired by cycles of light, shadow, and darkness.

The UWaterloo Jazz Ensemble will perform a selection of jazz classics, embracing the music of Neal Hefti, Joe Zawinel, Jim McGrath and more.... 

The Instrumental Chamber Ensembles are groups of talented students playing a wide selection of classical chamber pieces, from Dvorak to Menotti.  We have 5 different groups this term, split between two concerts.

In 1517, Martin Luther published the Ninety-Five Theses, and 2017, "The Luther Year," celebrates the 500th anniversary of this beginning of the Reformation. Luther’s German translation of the Bible has remained influential to this day; his hymns are still sung; and many still use his proverbs. But does all this make him the inventor of High German?

Did you know you can create a photographic print using just the sun? It's true! Attend this fun and informative workshop to learn how to create a photograph using the historical photographic methods of pinhole and cyantopye. We will be putting a contemporary spin on the process by using digital pinhole cameras to create the images, and printing the negatives on an inkjet printer. 

Released just over 1 year ago, the 7-volume report as well as the Calls to Action of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission in many ways focused on language.
