Join us a talk with award-winning journalist and alumnus Rick Westhead on his new book We Breed Lions: Confronting Canada's Troubled Hockey Culture. This powerful event will shine a light on the persistent and devastating issues within Canadian hockey and sport culture, issues that demand urgent attention and collective action.

Rick will begin the evening with a presentation on his book, followed by an open Q&A session with the audience.

Please note: The content of this event may be triggering. In recognition of this, Consent Comes First support services will be available on campus to provide care and resources to attendees.

All proceeds from book sales will be donated to gender-based violence organizations, reinforcing the event’s commitment to justice and healing.

This is more than a book launch, it’s a moment of reckoning, reflection, and hope. We invite you to be part of this important presentation and dialogue.
