SUMMARY:Embark's Community Kitchen: When you hear the sizzle
DESCRIPTION:Come together virtually to cook-a-long and enjoy a vegetarian or plant-based meal\, while connecting with other SFU students.\nCommunity Kitchens are a low-barrier gathering space where SFU students come together to cook-a-long and enjoy a vegetarian or plant-based meal over a two-hour period. Join us for our first Virtual Community Kitchen over Zoom\, November 13th. We’re welcoming this month’s co-facilitators\, Mariel & Meaghan.\n\n Mariel is a Health Peer with SFU’s Health and Counselling department.

She’s got a passion for cooking and loves experimenting with new vegan and vegetarian recipes. You can find her baking sourdough bread\, gardening\, or doing yoga on most days.\n\nYou’re invited to fall in love with the veganized Filipino dish\, Sisig\, over Zoom. The pork-laden grill will be transformed into a plant-based stir-fry to recreate a Filipino meat classic into an equally mouth-watering tofu and mushroom mix. To add some roughage\, we’re throwing in some kale for good measure – you don’t want to miss this!\n\nEven though we’re not meeting in person\, we want to continue to have our Community Kitchens as barrier free as possible! In partnership with the SFSS’s Women’s Centre\, we will be offering support for the groceries for Community Kitchen!\nPlease email Melisa Tang Choy\, Embark’s Programs Manager\, at programs@embarksustainability.org\, by Friday November 6th at 4:30pm .

SUMMARY:Session 2: From Myths to Effective Climate Action - Climate Literacy 101: On a Path to Climate Success
DESCRIPTION:Session 2: From Myths to Effective Climate Action \nWednesday\, June 3rd \n12pm-1pm \nDr. Mark Jaccard will speak on how climate-concerned citizens can overcome myths that hinder us from acting in time to prevent extreme climate impacts. Their actions can involve personal consumption choices (electric vehicles\, heat pumps) but these only have an effect if citizens are also engaged in the political process and civil society to elect and support climate-sincere politicians. These personal and collective efforts must align with and foster a global strategy of decarbonization\, especially in developing countries. Come to the talk to find out what is required on a simple path to climate success and what you can contribute. \n  \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a Virtual Lunch & Learn Series\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nAre you an SFU student\, faculty member\, or staff climate champion committed to growing your understanding of climate science and pathways for change? \nClimate Literacy 101 is an opportunity to learn from and engage with leading climate science and policy experts at Simon Fraser University.

Closing remarks \nSPEAKERS \nDr. Tammara Soma (Speaker) \nDr. Tammara Soma holds a Ph.D. in Planning (2018) from the University of Toronto and is the Research Director and Co-Founder of the Food Systems Lab (foodsystemslab.ca). She is an Assistant Professor at the School of Resource and Environmental Management at Simon Fraser University where she conducts research on issues pertaining to food system planning\, community-based research\, waste management and the circular economy. Prior to SFU\, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Geography and Planning at the University of Toronto\, and the Food Equity Coordinator at New College (University of Toronto). \nDeirdre Goudriaan (she/her/hers) (Speaker) \n“Deirdre is a process designer\, evaluator\, and researcher\, facilitator and coach who has worked extensively with all scales of community and government. She leads collaborative design processes and has worked with numerous sectors\, business leaders and NGO’s. For the last 12 years\, Deirdre has worked with BC Healthy Communities and in her own consultancy to address wicked problems and design innovative solutions. Deirdre has a Master’s Degree in Leadership and Training and has focused on conflict resolution and negotiation and work that helps communities heal. This work spans from focused trauma support to working through conflict constructively. Deirdre is currently focused on supporting Collective Impact initiatives as a member of the Seeds of Change Surrey leadership team (food systems work) and as an Innoweave Collective Impact coach. She is certified as a Human Systems Dynamics practitioner and has been certified by Acumen in human-centered Design and Prototyping.” \nKalamity Hildebrandt (they/them) (Workshop Facilitator) \n“Kalamity is a powerful force for ideas\, compassion and anti-oppression commitment at SFPIRG. Formally at least somewhat trained in psychology (SFU) and law (UBC)\, their passion and greatest source of learning has always been grassroots organizing and community social justice education. They are responsible for spearheading new topics and approaches around the issues that SFPIRG tackles; acting as a facilitator for much of SFPIRG’s programming as well as offering custom-made workshops for the SFU community; developing educational content; mentoring students as they develop their skills as researchers\, facilitators and in implementing anti-oppression ideas; supervising programs and projects such as Letters for the Inside; and more. In their spare time\, Kalamity can be found playing D&D\, reading too many articles on social media\, and carving wooden spoons.” \nACCESSIBILITY & VENUE DETAILS \nClimate \nWe are committed to reducing the waste created by this event\, please remember to bring your reusable water bottle and/or coffee mug. Please consider using public transportation to attend this event. If you need to drive\, please consider carpooling. \nScent Reduction \nWhile we cannot ensure a fully scent-free event in this setting\, we’re aiming to create a scent-reduced environment by not bringing additional scents into the space. Exposure to laundry products\, colognes\, hairspray\, and many other scented products can trigger serious health reactions in individuals with asthma\, allergies\, migraines\, and/or chemical sensitivities. We ask that you not wear/ apply/ or bring any scented products into this space. \nGender-Inclusive Washrooms \nThere are gendered washrooms in the Halpern Centre building. The nearest gender-inclusive washrooms are a short distance away in the AQ\, next to the Menchie’s. We are looking into whether the Halpern Centre’s washrooms can be designated as gender-inclusive for the duration of the event. \nEvent Location and Wheelchair Access \nHalpern Centre is located pretty well in the middle of the SFU Burnaby campus\, nestled between the Library\, Convocation Mall and the Academic Quadrangle (AQ). There are stairs and a ramp both providing access to the centre. Due to extensive construction on campus\, especially in Convocation Mall\, we encourage folks to arrive early with extra time to navigate the campus. The event space is wheelchair and scooter accessible\, but will require extra navigation due to the construction. \nElectromagnetic Frequencies \nSome folks are sensitive and/or get sick from electromagnetic frequency radiation (EMF). This can include radiation from cell phones\, Wi-Fi\, fluorescent lights\, and more. SFU Burnaby has Wi-Fi set up throughout its campus\, including in the Halpern Centre event space. The event is also in a room equipped with fluorescent lighting. We ask that folks turn off cellphones if possible to help reduce EMF exposure\, recognizing that some folks will need to keep their cellphones on (for work\, emergency contacts\, etc.). \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS \nThis event is being hosted on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. In particular\, this includes the land of the Musqueam\, Skxwú7mesh\, and Tsleil-Waututh nations.

SUMMARY:Student Climate Engagement Session
DESCRIPTION:Embark\, SFU350\, and ChangeSFU (officially known as the Climate Coalition) are organizing a climate emergency engagement session and we thought you may be interested in attending! \nAs a contribution to the larger climate emergency engagement process taking place at SFU\, the Climate Coalition is organizing a session that is specifically for students as we want to make sure there is space for our voices to be heard\, our ideas to be shared\, and connections to be made through this pressing crisis that affects us all! Before a climate emergency is declared\, we want to ensure that all students have the opportunity to share their perspective\, which is why\, through this event\, we want to create a safe space for any SFU student – regardless of their involvement in climate action – to share their thoughts\, concerns\, and proposals for how SFU can proceed as a leader in the fight against climate change.  \nOur session will focus on why climate action matters to students and how it affects us both inside and outside the classroom. The session will be held on Monday\, February 3rd from 12:30 – 2:30 pm on the Burnaby Campus (location TBD) and light refreshments will be provided. RSVP is required as space is limited. Please RSVP here https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FFNFJN6.  \nBy participating in this engagement session\, you will be providing valuable student input for the climate emergency declaration process.  \nWe hope to see you there!
