The Canadian Coastal Resilience Forum and the Interdisciplinary Centre on Climate Change are pleased to present our inaugural documentary screening of the film Anthropocene: The Human Epoch. A cinematic meditation on humanity’s massive reengineering of the planet, ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch is a four years in the making feature documentary film from the multiple-award winning team of Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier and Edward Burtynsky. The film follows the research of an international body of scientists, the Anthropocene Working Group who, after nearly 10 years of research, are arguing that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century, because of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth.

Invited teams of Engineering students will be competing:

• for surprise Challenge Game theme when they arrive at E7-2317 (Conrad Hub)
• for half-hour to earn House (Engineering Departments) points
• for the Winter 2020 season (there are three games scheduled over lunch hour this Fall season)

Lunch will be provided to FANS and TEAMS! But you must pre-register to attend.

You get to support, cheer and receive FAN points for prizes at the end of the season!
