But after a period of climate despair and depression\, she found a home in climate movement. She first cut her teeth organizing sit-ins\, marches\, and blockades in support of land-based resistance movements\, and later campaigning for free public transit as a climate and racial justice intervention. Once upon a time\, she even ran for federal office with a campaign for a just transition to 100% renewables. As Dogwood’s Organizing Manager\, Paige is hard at work building grassroots power in the Lower Mainland toward bold climate action. She is enthusiastic about bringing art and creativity into organizing and supporting the participation of young people in the fight to keep fossil fuels in the ground. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Accessibility\nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors in room #4200 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby.

I am a part of the First Nation of Turtle Island\, adirect descendant of the Lakota Sioux with an ancestry of Anishnabe and Lakota origin. \nBorn to a family of 20\, my siblings have said that I have always been a good cook\, so I thought it was important to follow my passion\, I took up the Culinary Arts Program at Vancouver Community College in January of 2008. During this time\, I was able to garner many scholarships and awards including the very prestigious Student of the Year Award. I graduated top of my class and I followed that up by getting my hospitality management degree with a red seal certification from VCC. Even before I graduated the program\, I was invited to teach in the Aboriginal Culinary Arts Program at Vancouver Community College where I have become a full-time faculty member for the past 12 years. \nI have always advocated that “Food is Medicine” and it is armed with this firm belief that I have started my own catering company – Cedar Feast House Catering\, Ltd. in 2011 to honor my mother Shirley Contois who is the last aboriginal princess of our tribe. My goal is to combine traditional aboriginal cooking with modern culinary techniques. \nWhat started as a small kitchen with one employee has turned into a bustling business with thirty employees. We are a 100% Indigenous owned catering company that has been operating since 2011. Our company primarily employs people with disabilities\, women who need second chances\, single mothers and Indigenous people. \nMy future plans include passing on knowledge to the next generation by training Indigenous youths and students with disabilities to give them both Culinary and cultural understanding of the people of Turtle Island. \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Accessibility\nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors in room #4200 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby.

My name is Zaena\, and I am the new Programs Manager for Embark Sustainability! I’m recently graduated from SFU as a Philosophy and International Studies Major. I was raised on the unceded traditional territories of the Kwikwetlem nation\, which resides in shared territories of the Musquem\, Squamish\, Tsleil-Waututh\, Qayqayt\, Sto’:lo\, and Katzi nations – or\, what is Colonially known as “Coquitlam”. \nThere’s a lot of new beginnings for me – A new school year\, Ethiopian New Years has just passed\, and I’m new to Embark! Newness often feels like a sudden and uncomfortable break in what we know. But when I think of newness\, I also think of how cultural traditions transform to create new twists\, giving us throughlines to the past and present. \nFood is often at this epicentre of these throughlines. It carries on the traditions of our ancestors\, while adapting to its new environments. This cultural fluidity reminds me that newness has a cushion of the familiar underneath – which is almost as comforting a thought as eating some delicious Ethiopian meals. \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Accessibility\nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark Sustainability members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Sustainability Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors at the SUB Community Kitchen\, room #2125 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby.

I am a Health Sciences student\, and the current Hi-FIVE (Movement for Mental Health) Coordinator. \nI am from Iran\, and in our culture\, just like many other cultures\, food is a way of connecting back to ourselves and our communities. \nThere are many different ways in which food and mental well-being are interconnected. Our level of mental well-being can impact our eating patterns and vice versa. That is briefly why I am passionate about addressing this topic further\, and I look forward to hearing others’ experiences and perspectives as well. \nJamie Hill\, Embark Design and Communications Manager \nHi everyone\, my name is Jamie (she/they) and I’m a settler living on the ancestral homelands of the Qayqayt and Musqueam Nations\, otherwise known as New West. \nI have a passion for environmental communication\, exploring the intersections of anxiety\, grief and climate as a blog writer and editor for several publications as well as through my role as Design and Communications Manager at Embark. I believe students are often a driving force for change\, but also face complex outside forces when it comes to taking time to eat\, rest\, and engage in community care on top of all the pressures placed on them. I’m looking forward to exploring these intersections with you all and hopefully lessening the load! \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS \nThis event takes place on the unceded homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish)\, səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and kʷikʷəƛw̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Nations. \nEVENT ACCESSIBILITY \nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors at the SUB Community Kitchen\, room #2125 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby.
