An evening with author Catherine Clement
Join us for a LOOK at a part of B.C. history that has seldom been seen. From 1906-1949, Yucho Chow chronicled life during a tumultuous and transformative period. His lens recorded the lives and aspirations not only of early Chinese, but of many other marginalized communities who struggled to make Canada their home.
Civic Mobilization and the Global Refugee Crisis
Meghan MacIver was on the front lines of the European refugee crisis, assisting refugees fleeing violence and poverty who were arriving by the thousands on the Greek island of Lesbos. As co-founder of the largest online resource for providing information to independent volunteers in Greece, she took part in what some have described as the largest civic mobilization since the Second World War, when volunteers—many young and untrained—took on unimaginable responsibilities and saved thousands of lives.
