Public Lecture - Room Enough for Hope: Canada’s Response to the Refugee Crisis

Join us for the 2017 Rodney and Lorna Sawatsky Visiting Scholar Lecture with Dr. Mary Jo Leddy. Leddy will give a lecture titled, "Room Enough for Hope: Canada’s Response to the Refugee Crisis."

Dr. Mary Jo Leddy is a writer, theologian, and social activist well known for her work with refugees, including as founder and director of Romero House in Toronto. She is author of The Other Face of God: When the Stranger Calls Us Home (2011) and Our Friendly Local Terrorist (2010), among many other publications. Leddy is an adjunct professor at Regis College, and an Honorary Fellow at the University of St. Michael’s College, both at University of Toronto.

This lecture is named in honour of the late Dr. Rodney Sawatsky, past president of Conrad Grebel University College, and his wife Lorna.

**PARKING:**
We anticipate that this lecture will be well attended and would ask local residents and Grebel faculty and staff to park either in the lots on Seagram Drive, or in the permitted street parking spaces on Longfellow Drive.  Thank you!
