future Toronto-area Lake Ontario conservation issues. The event will begin
at 6pm with a screening of selections from the 2009 documentary *Waterlife *
(http://waterlife.nfb.ca/), in which director Kevin McMahon, recipient of
the 2007 Hot Docs Focus On retrospective, navigates us through the complex
ecological and anthropological story of the Great Lakes.
*Waterlife*investigates the present and future challenges facing the
largest supply of fresh water, and one of the largest regions of economic production, on the
planet.

Following the film, four Toronto-area experts will share issue-specific erspectives, and the evening will conclude with a panel discussion / Q&A
period. Our panel includes:

- Susan Doka, Fisheries and Oceans Canada
- Christine Tu, Toronto Region Conservation Authority
- Ted Bowering, City of Toronto
- Shidan Murphy, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Toronto


The event will take place in room 432 of Ramsey Wright (25 Harbord St.) on
the St. George campus of University of Toronto. From the main entrance off
Harbord, take the elevator to the 4th floor, turn left, then right at the
end of the hall. Doors of RW-432 will be open at 5:45pm and the screening
will begin at 6pm. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Donations accepted.


We hope that you will join us
