On Tuesday, November 29th at 7:00pm Inuk activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier will present in Mount Allison's Convocation Hall. Sheila Watt-Cloutier is the former International Chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Council, and will be speaking about the impacts and implications of climate change on the Arctic and the connection between human rights and climate change.

 

The lecture is entitled “Not the Time to COP Out”, and will coincide with the second day of the COP-17 negotiations in Durban, South Africa. If you cannot be in Sackville, we hope to have you virtually attend. The lecture will be streamed live on the IsumaTV website, http://www.isuma.tv/, and it is our hope to organize satellite viewings in groups, or you may view from your home computer. It promises to be an exceptional and engaging lecture, and we would like to share it as widely as possible across Canada.
