LISTENING PARTY ALERT! Join us tomorrow at 8PM for an #EmpathySquad listening party featuring Sebastian Biasucci's podcast, "North York: The Suburb with Heart" "This crash course in #suburbia will take you on a little trip to the north end of #Toronto and highlight significant and everyday moments in #NorthYork’s #past and #present. It also brings together and celebrates as many #North #Yorkers as I could fit into a #podcast. Before and after #colonization, pre and post #am...algamation, the land where North York sits has always been a place where people come together. Even today, in a world where simply knowing your next-door neighbour seems like a rarity, North York is home to so many connected #communities, #neighbourhoods and #organizations. It is my pleasure to introduce you to some of the #diverse, hard working and incredibly kind individuals who have made and continue to make this such a special place. I hope that this love letter to North York will entice new visitors, honour my fellow North Yorkers and capture the spirit of the suburb."

If you've found solace in a park during the pandemic, then this #ListeningParty might be for you! Tomorrow at 7PM! "Voices of Strathcona Park" by Rebecca Gibbons "Since #COVID-19 began, city #parks have become the heartbeat of many #neighbourhoods. More than ever, they are sanctuaries of calm and #connection away from the stifling routine of home #isolation. In this story, we hear from five visitors to #StrathconaPark in #Ottawa’s #SandyHill neighborhood and ask: What brought... them there? And how does the park help them cope with the #pandemic? This is a meditation on Strathcona Park and a message of #gratitude for community parks everywhere."

Join us TONIGHT AT 7PM for an #EmpathySquad #listening #party! "I'm An Accountant: Sex Work in a New Age by Sarah Laudenbach #Sexwork is one of the most stigmatized professions in the world. From misconceptions to negative #media depictions, #sexworkers often face discrimination and harassment because people rarely take the time to truly understand the consensual side of the sex work industry. When the pandemic began in 2020, sex workers like workers in every other ind...ustry were forced to adapt their businesses to a new age of primarily #onlinework. Through #conversations with real sex workers and advocates from a wide variety of fields and backgrounds, I’m An Accountant: Sex Work in a New Age considers the #stigma of sex work, the reality of workers’ experiences, and the #empowerment that can come from sex work. This episode also focuses on the shift from in-person to #digital services, #socialmedia’s discrimination against sex work, and other challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has created for sex workers. Please note the following trigger and content warnings for this episode: sexually explicit and adult language, sexual harassment, objectification, fetishization, and brief, non-graphic mentions of sexual abuse and sexual trauma. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/148094307059 This opportunity was made possible by the Government of Canada under the Canada Service Corps program Leaders Today #LeadersToday #CanadaServiceCorps
