I've heard from multiple people that the free David Suzuki lecture a couple weeks ago at U of R was awesome. I missed that but I'm not going to miss this one – I saw Stephen Lewis speak at CLA in Ottawa last summer and it was amazing.
Here's the official blurb:
As you may or may not already know, on Thursday March 15, Stephen Lewis
is speaking at the University of Regina in the Education Auditorium
starting at 7:00 p.m. The talk is hosted by the U of R's Engineers
without Borders.
Stephen Lewis was the former UN special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa and
will speak about his remarkable work with the United Nations, which
spans more than two decades. He has garnered respect and attention
internationally for the strength and eloquence with which he presents
his convictions about HIV/AIDs, lobalization and the international
responsibility to address these problems.
It is free for students and $5 for non-students. Tickets are available
now at the U of R Student Union desk, and will also be available that
night (assuming they do not sell out). Contact the Student Union for
more info.
