This spring, Third Age Barrie (TAB) Life-Long Learning Association invited six leading lights in the fields of climate crisis solutions, anti-Black racism, sustainable infrastructure, political power and social justice to address this question.
From April 27-June 1 the series “Crisis=Danger+ Opportunity” challenged the TAB audience to assess not only the dangers we have experienced during the pandemic but also to consider whether the pandemic created opportunities to address climate crisis, racism and social inequality. 151 TAB audience members participated enthusiastically and gave the series top marks.
Each of our speakers saw not only danger but opportunity as we recover from the current world-wide health crisis.
