✂️ Creative Collage Evening

Join us for an evening of creativity, light conversation, and artistic experimentation! We’ll start with a short introduction to the art of collage, then move into a hands-on session where we’ll explore materials, imagery, and associations while creating our own pieces. **This format is perfect if you’d like to spend time in a calm, creative atmosphere.** All materials will be provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own cutouts, photographs, or textures to add something personal to your collage. During the event, drinks will be available to order at the bar (not included in the ticket price), and afterwards you’re welcome to stay and enjoy live music. **⏳ Duration:** 3 hours **👩‍💼 Host:** Monika, designer and guinea pig enthusiast Contact number for the host, exact meeting spot, and other details will be shared with you right after registration, in the comments of this event. If you have any questions — feel free to message us! 💙

Vaesen: Lunch and Nordic Horror RPG

**Light lunch/social** **We'll play a 2-3 hour investigation in Vaesen**, a Nordic Horror game in which you play a commoner or expert in 1850s Scandinavia trying to resolve flashpoints between the new industrial age and the mythic supernatural world. Come if you're creative, a writer, artist, actor, or just game lover. My influences are 90s superhero comics, 1800s gothic horror, and 90s metal to current. Yeah, I'm an Xer. Unrepentant. BYOB, but I'll usually have plenty of red wine for a splash with a simple lunch. I'll have soft drinks and snacks covered.

2026 CBC Massey Lecture: Housing Inc.

Since 1965, [CBC IDEAS](http://cbc.ca/ideas) has broadcast the Massey Lectures, exploring the ideas that make us who we are. We attend the Massey Lecture every year. **Housing is not a luxury. It is a requirement for human existence.** In the 2026 CBC Massey Lectures, **Leilani Farha**, *global director of The Shift and former UN special rapporteur on the Right to Housing*, reckons with a crisis engineered by governments and perfected by financial firms. In her first Massey Lecture, “Home,” she explores how our homes shape our sense of dignity, identity, and security. Because home is so fundamental to our lives, she argues, our housing system is inextricably linked to the question of who lives, who dies, and who counts. **Ticket link here: ($26-$50) Any seat on any level is a great seat!** https://www.rcmusic.com/concert/the-2026-cbc-massey-lectures-housing-inc-456801 https://ihrp.law.utoronto.ca/ihrp-alumni-spotlight-leilani-farha https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/how-to-get-tickets-to-leilani-farhas-cbc-massey-lectures-9.7256001
