All are welcome. \nJerry and Jo-Ann Saddleback \nFRI APR 26 | 4pm \nBeaver Hills House Park\, 10404 Jasper Ave NW \nHonouring the deep relations that both Dreamspeakers and Rubaboo have created over the vast years that they’ve engaged artists\, community and allies\, we invite all to a special outdoor Cedar Smudge at the Dreamspeakers Walk of Honour tribute to artists. Our Elders will guide us in ceremony and both Welcoming and Honour Songs\, and an invitation to respond to the welcome to territory…and when the spirit moves we can Round Dance! \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRocko & Nakota: Tales From The Land\n\nAdmission – $20 \nFRI APR 26\, SAT APR 27\, TUES APR 30 | 7:30pm \nMON APR 29\, TUES APR 30 | 1:30pm \nAlberta Avenue Community Centre\, 9210 118 Ave NW \nDirected by Barry Bilinsky\, designed by Ami Farrow\, written and performed by Josh Languedoc. \nMeet Nakota. A young boy who is sick in the hospital and trying to write the greatest story ever. One day\, Grandpa Rocko comes over for a visit and whisks Nakota away into a world of stories that are right below his feet. Within the land. This show explores the interplay between stories of the present against the long forgotten stories of the past\, as Nakota learns to confront his fears and discover who he truly is. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nMaking Treaty 7’s Kaahsinnoniks\n\nAdmission – $20. \nWED MAY 1 | 7:30pm \nTheatre Lab\, Allard Hall\, 11110 104 Ave NW \nThe title of the show\, Kaahsinnoniks\, in Blackfoot loosely translates to ancestors. The title gives an opportunity to play with the western construct of past\, present and future. The Elders say\, before we had calendars and clocks\, we only had today with our ancestors\, only two days behind us and two days ahead of us – which gives us a paradigm that allows us to explore the events of the past\, the present and future because for us\, everything is integrated. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nMeme Creation Workshop\n\nFREE \nTHURS MAY 2 | 3pm \nConference Centre\, Allard Hall\, 11110 104 Ave NW \nIndigenous meme workshop led by @dadfights.

Weaving performance\, video and music/song\, it channels the ancestral\, elemental and the dream world. The imagery and energies span the wide range of what is woman: warrior\, leader\, mother\, transformer and huntress. Acknowledging inter-connectedness and shared experiences of Indigenous woman\, Blood Water Earth places a Konkwehon:we/Mana Wahine (Aotearoa) worldview in the vanguard. The performance is inspired by the concepts and imagery from Kaha:wi Dance Theatre’s triptych series on Re-Matriation: Re-Quickening\, Blood Tides and Skennen. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRubaboo Cabaret\n\nAdmission – $10. \nFRI MAY 3 | 8:30pm \nBetty Andrews Hall\, Allard Hall\, 11110 104 Ave NW \nA tried and true Festival tradition; a mixture of music\, dance\, spoken word poetry\, and film tied together by the excitement to perform.

Can cities become food producing spaces instead of food deserts? \n\n\n\nMacEwan University has a fascinating and forward-looking initiative for food sustainability on campus starting with three discrete systems utilizing hydroponic\, aeroponic and aquaponic technology. The goal is to demonstrate how food can be produced indoors for preparation and consumption just meters from where it is grown. We’ll discuss the benefits\, challenges and technologies behind year-round\, indoor food production in the Edmonton context and tour around the systems with plenty of opportunities for questions and critiques. \n\n\n\nAbout Their Guests::Operating in Edmonton for two years\, Spruce Permaculture is an urban food consultancy and permaculture landscaping company providing regenerative food-production and design services to the Edmonton community since 2016. They are dedicated to producing sustainable food\, creating beautiful spaces\, rewilding the city and returning ecosystem functions to YEG.

SUMMARY:RESEARCH AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF GENDER (RIG): LAUNCH CELEBRATION
DESCRIPTION:Intersections of Gender is one of the first three newly-minted University of Alberta Signature Areas of Research and Teaching. As a Signature Area\, we will contribute to making the University of Alberta an internationally recognized leader in intersectional\, gender-themed research that advances innovation and collaboration across disciplines\, deepens equity and inclusion\, and responds to global challenges. \nIntersections of Gender starts from the premise that research strengths at the intersections of gender (including race\, class\, Indigeneity\, disability\, language\, immigration status\, and many more vectors of identity) are found across all fields and corners of the University of Alberta. Recognizing and developing these strengths stands to benefit individual researchers\, community partners\, collaborative teams\, and the University as a whole. \nDr. Sheena Wilson (PI: Just Powers) will be a part of the Intersectional Research Showcase from 3:00-5:00.

SUMMARY:Are we going to be totally screwed by climate change?
DESCRIPTION:Join the Office of Sustainability at MacEwan University for the Sustainability 201 Speaker Series featuring Geoff Dembicki.\nAs wildfires rage across the west\, it’s clear climate change is getting worse. But with B.C. and Alberta ready to kill each other over pipelines\, our leaders seem unable to address the crisis with the urgency it requires. Geoff Dembicki draws from his travels to the 2015 Paris climate talks\, a Philippines city destroyed by a typhoon\, a Republican social club in Washington\, DC\, and other locales to answer this era’s defining question. \nWho is Geoff Dembicki\nGeoff Dembicki is the author of Are We Screwed? How a New Generation is Fighting to Survive Climate Change\, which won the 2018 Green Prize for Sustainable Literature and the 2017 Dave Greber Freelance Writers Award. He is a regular contributor to VICE and The Tyee and his work has also appeared in the New York Times\, the Guardian and Foreign Policy. \nCover photo by DAN TOULGOET PHOTO

SUMMARY:Canada's Energy Future: The Path to Transition - Edmonton
DESCRIPTION:There is broad recognition among Albertans and Canadians about the need to transition away from using fossil fuels as our primary source of energy. What is less clear is what exactly we are transitioning to\, and what that transition will mean for our daily lives\, our communities\, and our economies. Without answers to those questions\, it is impossible to address issues such as what government policies will be required to achieve the transition\, how we prepare our economy for transition\, and how we ensure that the transition will treat workers and communities fairly. \nJoin us for a presentation by renowned earth scientist David Hughes as he discusses our current energy mix in Canada\, the deployability of renewable energy sources\, and what will be required in order for us to achieve the degree and scope of transition that is required by the climate crisis. \n:: About David Hughes :: \nDavid Hughes is an earth scientist who has studied the energy resources of Canada and the US for more than four decades\, including 32 years with the Geological Survey of Canada as a scientist and research manager\, where he headed unconventional gas and coal research. His research focus has been on unconventional fuels\, primarily shale gas and tight oil\, but also coal\, coalbed methane and other unconventional sources\, including oil sands\, coal gasification and gas hydrates. Much of his recent work has focused on long-term energy security in light of the climate imperative and the modeling conducted by the IPCC and others. He is the author of Canada’s Energy Outlook: Current Realities and Implications for a Carbon-constrained Future\, and recently represented the “No” side in a dialogue with Martha Hall Findlay on the question of whether pipelines are in the public interest published by Alberta Views magazine. Hughes is currently President of Global Sustainability Research Inc\, a consultancy dedicated to research on energy and sustainability issues.

SUMMARY:Honouring Treaty Rights\, Enacting Climate Justice: Solidarity Rally and Round Dance
DESCRIPTION:Solidarity Rally and Round Dance for Beaver Lake Cree Nation in Amiskwaciwâskahikan\, Treaty 6 territory. \nPlease come out to support the Beaver Lake Cree as they brace for a courtroom fight for their Treaty rights. \nMeeting in Sir Winston Churchill Square at 1:30 PM. All are welcome! \nThe Beaver Lake Cree Nation is going to court to compel Canada and Alberta to honour their treaty obligations to the Beaver Lake Cree and — by extension — all Nations across the country. This means taking on the toxic tar sands and rampant industrial development that takes up more than half of the territory of the Beaver Lake Cree. It means forging a new framework that evaluates new projects according to cumulative impacts on the water\, forests\, and animals that Indigenous Peoples were promised would be there ‘as long as the sun shines\, the grass grows and the rivers flow’. \nLet’s make a strong statement of support for the Beaver Lake Cree as they head into the courtroom! \nLOCATION:\nSir Winston Churchill Square\nAmiskwaciwâskahikan\, Treaty 6 territory \nTIME:\n1:30 – 2:30 PM \nSPEAKERS:\nChief Germaine Anderson\nCrystal Lameman\nKihew and Kirby Buffalo\nOceanna Bellegarde \nWe wish to acknowledge that this event is taking place on Treaty 6 territory – the territory of Blackfoot\, Cree\, Dene\, Nakota Sioux\, Saulteaux\, and Métis Nation. \nBeaver Lake Cree Nation is taking on the tar sands – Canada’s fastest growing source of climate pollution. Already the largest industrial project on Earth\, tar sands extraction has poisoned water\, eliminated whole forests\, and decimated traditional food sources for the Beaver Lake Cree people. Expanding the tar sands will mean more pipelines and tankers and game over for a stable climate. \nThe Beaver Lake Cree Nation is the first ever to challenge and be granted a trial on the cumulative impacts of industrial development. We are all treaty people. How then shall we live? \nIt’s time to join forces to protect the environment\, climate\, and Indigenous People’s right to Free\, Prior\, and Informed Consent. Are you in? \nDonate and learn more here:\nhttps://tarsandstrial.com

SUMMARY:Amy Luers: Sparking Exponential Climate Action
DESCRIPTION:We face a future full of disruption. To keep global warming below 2°C\, countries must adopt a simple rule: cut emissions in half every decade to 2050. Solutions may be market ready and economically attractive\, but it will require economic transformation at an unprecedented speed and scale. \nMeanwhile\, Silicon Valley’s digital revolution is re-wiring the way we work\, shop\, live and socialize. Tech giants have had a profound influence on democracy and the modern economy\, and the promise of artificial intelligence\, robotics\, and the internet of things will only bring more disruption. \nCan the massive transformations of the digital revolution help drive us toward a climate-safe world? This talk explores the priorities for science\, technology and policy to drive forward the integrated approach that is needed to tackle this challenge. Amy Luers and Future Earth are showing leaders\, scientists and business that they must collaborate to put us on the road to a thriving\, sustainable future. \nSPEAKER BIO \nAmy Luers comes to Future Earth from the Skoll Global Threats Fund (SGTF) where she was Director of Climate. Previously\, she was the Assistant Director for Climate Resilience and Information at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). Dr. Luers spent a number of years at Google as the Senior Environment Program Manager. Prior to Google she led the climate program at the Union of Concerned Sciences California office. Luers started her career in Latin America as co-founder and the first executive director of Agua Para La Vida (Water for Life)\, working with rural communities to enhance access to potable water. \nShe has published in both academic and the popular media on issues related to vulnerability to global environmental change\, data\, sustainability\, climate policy\, and science communication. A respected scientist and data innovator\, Luers has been recognised as a PopTech fellow\, a Switzer Environmental Fellow\, Heinz Environmental Scholar\, and has advised the California state government\, the White House\, and the United Nations.

SUMMARY:Apply to the Climate Leadership Program!
DESCRIPTION:“Climate change is the overarching crisis of our time\, providing both challenges and opportunities for us to tackle. The Climate Leadership Program (CLP) will build the capacity of participants to take leadership and initiate climate action in their personal lives and organizations in Alberta. \nWe are looking for 20 people who are on leadership pathways in organizations that do not necessarily have climate change as their core focus. For example\, past program participants have had continuing roles in: education\, health care\, the private sector\, Indigenous communities\, government\, the labour movement\, the energy sector\, cooperatives\, not-for-profits that focus on newcomers\, and so on. The retreat based program will run from March to July\, 2019. \nOver five weekends in Kananaskis\, Calgary\, Red Deer and Edmonton the CLP participants will work with and learn from active Albertan climate leaders. One weekend will centre on land based learning\, which will be without readily accessible shelter\, and subject to changing weather and environmental conditions. Participants will learn about efforts to tackle climate change already taking place in Alberta\, explore what other relevant jurisdictions are doing on this front\, develop collaboration and action planning skills\, and explore how they can use their professional and personal resources to incorporate climate as a lens to leverage positive solutions and collaboration to address climate change. At the conclusion of the program\, participants will have developed a strategic plan for how their organization/sector can both support climate action by others and how they can bring a climate lens into their work to help advance action on climate change in Alberta. If you are someone whose goal is to recognize and take opportunities for climate action where possible\, then this program may be for you! \nThe CLP is for people 25 and older\, who have been active in their organization/sector for at least two years and who intend to continue to be involved there over the next 3-5 years. We strongly support the participation of people who identify as members of equity seeking communities\, that include low income\, queer\, indigenous\, newcomer disabled\, people of colour\, faith groups and many others. The land based learning weekend has been designed to be accessible to the mobility and comfort needs of all participants.
