SEES Climate Café
SEES Climate Café
We are excited to announce our sixth Climate Café, presented in collaboration with the School of Earth, Environment & Society Graduate Student Collective (SEES-GSC) at McMaster University!
Join us on April 8 from 5:00–7:30PM in the General Science Building (GSB) 330 for a Climate Café. This is a space to connect, reflect, and build resilience in the face of climate change.
Are you feeling burned out from learning about, researching, and/or experiencing the effects of climate change? The climate crisis doesn’t just affect our environment. It shapes our communities, emotions, and how we live and work together.
At this free, community-led event, we’ll explore how climate change is showing up in our lives and in Hamilton, share perspectives and emotions, and learn more about what’s happening in the city. We'll also enjoy some snacks, and wrap up with some reflections from our guest speaker. Nancy Hurst (Environmental and Land Use Advisor for the Ward 12 Council office, Co-Founder of Stop Sprawl HamOnt and Save Our Streams, & volunteer with the Hamilton Naturalists' Club), will be speaking about their experience with local advocacy and how you can get involved!
Climate Cafés are informal, welcoming gatherings designed to foster open dialogue, emotional connection, and a sense of community. Whether you're feeling anxious about the future, inspired to take action, or just curious to learn from others, this is a space for open, supportive, and meaningful conversations. No prior knowledge is needed - just bring your thoughts, questions, and a willingness to listen and engage.
