About the Talk

This talk explores disability and accessibility through the lens of sustainability, while also questioning what “sustainable” really means. Drawing on research, community examples, and shared reflection, Dr. Alexis Buettgen, from Wilfrid Laurier University, will consider how we can build futures that centre access, dignity, and care amid climate and social challenges. Participants will be invited to imagine economies and environments rooted in inclusion, care, and collective hope.

About the Event

Get creative, get curious, and get a little messy in this hands-on art program for kids and their grownups. Move between different activity stations and try out a variety of messy (but washable!) art materials as you go. Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty - making messes is part of the fun. And since this is a true Messtival, everyone helps tidy up together as we rotate stations.
