The Faculty of Environment invites the University of Waterloo community to a special screening and discussion of the documentary CAUGHTat the Modern Languages Theatre.
Join the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-racism for Beyond the "pipeline": Evaluations, values and allyship in academia. Offered as part of the Gender Equity Lecture Series, it will explore ways that we can work toward greater gender equity once more demographically and value-diverse folks have made it onto our campus. All Faculty of Environment staff, faculty and post-grads are invited to attend.
Dr. Denis Aheto will discuss a holistic approach to caring for the world’s oceans, lakes and rivers. Using examples from African countries, he will explore how the global community can transform the challenges facing our oceans into opportunities for growth to bolster sustainable development and stimulate socioeconomic transformation.
On April 3, 2024, the University of Waterloo will embark on a bold new mission to create healthier, more prosperous cities with the launch of the Future Cities Institute founded by CAIVAN.

All Faculty of Environment community members are welcome to participate.
Important Note: Costumes should be respectful. Costumes that could be considered culturally insensitive or that perpetuate stereotypes are not allowed. We celebrate diversity and encourage costumes that honour and respect all cultures. Ensure that costumes do not pose safety risks. Props should be non-threatening and not pose any risk to others.
This event will follow the Soup and Bannock hosted by the Faculty of Environment, Dean's Office at United College.
We invite you to a unique and empowering event that blends the themes of climate anxiety, the UWaterloo Healing Forest, Truth and Reconciliation, Indigenous healing and health, and Land Back. This gathering offers an opportunity to explore the deep connections between land, climate, and healing, while reflecting on our shared responsibilities.
The event will feature a fireside chat between Dr. Kelsey Leonard and Elder Myeengun Henry, who will share wisdom on the importance of land in Indigenous healing and cultural resilience. The conversation will also focus on how Indigenous perspectives can offer guidance in navigating the growing concerns around climate anxiety, particularly among young people.
Following the fireside chat, attendees will be invited to walk through the Healing Forest exhibit, a space dedicated to reflection on the impacts of colonialism and the resilience of Indigenous people. This immersive experience will provide an opportunity to connect and engage deeply with the themes of the day.
Together, we will walk a path of hope, guided by the wisdom of Indigenous knowledge, the strength of community, and the power of the land.
