Together for Tomorrow: Earth Days in Action
2025-02-06 - 2025-04-14 | Bradley Museum, 1620 Orr Road, Mississauga, ON, L5J 4T2, Canada
This exhibit takes a look at how climate change is affecting our community, from rising temperatures and extreme weather events to disruptions in ecosystems and communities.
Climate change is real and it’s happening now. Over the last decade, Mississauga has experienced intense heat waves, rain, flooding, and winter storms. Experts believe that these extreme weather patterns will only become worse in the future.
The City of Mississauga is already taking steps to tackle these issues by reducing carbon emissions, adapting to climate change, and promoting sustainability through local policies and initiatives. But, the truth is, we all have a role to play. By making small changes—like saving energy and backing green initiatives—you can help create a more sustainable future. Together, we can address the urgency of climate change and play an important part in protecting our planet for future generations.

The Birds
2025-02-06 19:30 - 21:00, 2025-02-07 19:30 - 21:00, 2025-02-08 14:00 - 17:00, 2025-02-08 19:30 - 21:00 | Erindale Studio Theatre, 3359 Mississauga Road
By Yvette Nolan
Directed by Marcel Stewart
Aristophanes’s 2400-year-old comical allegory of the relationship between humans, nature, and the Gods is refashioned as a playfully satirical examination of the relationship between First Nations and settlers in this comedy by Yvette Nolan, one of the country’s most prominent indigenous theatre makers and playwrights. A play about profound questions, about land and ownership, about reconciliation and appropriation, about utopian escapism and real-life politics that wears its seriousness lightly, set in a richly imagined, song-and-dance-filled land of the birds.

You will also have experience taking ‘turns’ on stage.
No experience required! This intensive is good for those new to the practice, those who are currently practicing and also for those who want to jump back into the fundamentals of theatrical red nose clown. Really, it’s good for everyone.
