St. James Campus Casa Loma Campus When Matthew Paul Miller was a teenager, he listened to counter-culture groups like The Grateful Dead, and Phish. As a musician, he was inspired by those groups as well as the late Bob Marley, whose reggae rhythms and philosophy struck a chord in the young man. In a strange way, it was Marley who helped Miller get connected with his Jewish roots. By creating a sound that is one part reggae, one part hip-hop and one part Hebrew, Miller has become one of the most unexpected music success stories in recent times. Join us for a thought provoking discussion addressing the issue of culture, identity and the freedom to choose. Facilitators: |

December 6, 2007
Let us take a moment to remember,
Whose lives were brutally robbed on the fateful day of December 6, 1989. Every year, the number of women killed in Canada rises. For the last 18 years, this date has been dedicated to the memory of all women who have lost their lives by violent means. May we also remember,
And approximately 500 more Native women who have been missing or found murdered in communities across Canada without an alarm raised by the government, media or society at large. To find out more information about how you may help in the fight against violence against women, contact: The December 6 Fund of Toronto The Native Women’s Association of Canada Let us collectively stop the cycle. December 10,2007 “Years after the solemn commitments of the Vienna World Conference on Human Rights (1993), human rights are grossly violated throughout the world because of poverty, conflicts, terrorism, violence, prejudice and bad governance… The promise of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights beckons us to a better world.” Bertrand Ramcharan, “(W)e reaffirm that freedom from want is a right, not merely a matter of compassion. Fighting poverty is a duty that binds those who govern as surely as their obligation to ensure that all people are able to speak freely, choose their leaders and worship as their conscience guides them.” Louise Arbour, On December 10, 1948, the aforementioned Declaration was signed in the hopes that the horrors of the recently ended Second World War would not be repeated. Diversity, Equity and Human Rights Services encourages the college community to take the time to educate and renew our commitment to human rights. |
