Transformation Café on The Radical Labour of Care
Event on March 24
As part of George Brown Polytechnic's Labour Fair, the Office of Social Innovation at TMU (opens in new window) presents a special Transformation Café titled The Radical Labour of Care on March 24th from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m.
How can we reimagine the systems that continue to fail the cityâs most vulnerable people through radical approaches to care? In an increasingly hostile and unaffordable city where housing, healthcare, and other basic needs are increasingly inaccessible, this Transformation CafĂ© explores the everyday/night labour of care work through decolonial and intersectional feminist perspectives.
Featuring Claire Dion Fletcher, an Indigenous midwife, leader, and educator, Lorraine Lam, a crisis outreach worker, case manager, and advocate in Torontoâs Downtown East, and Grissel Orellana, the Program Director of the Latinx Womynâs Program at the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape, this conversation will examine how panelists intervene in state cruelty by identifying the gaps and harms within systems that claim to provide care while also building practices of mutual aid, community safety, and collective survival.
By focusing on labour practices that centre people who are directly affected by crisis, this Café invites participants to imagine what an affordable and equitable city could look like when it invests in sensible drug policy, harm reduction, and housing justice; when it supports survivor-led sexual violence services without forcing them into chronic precarity; and when it advances Indigenous sovereignty in healthcare. We will share what is already working, what solidarities we need to sustain communities, and how care - as labour and as worldbuilding - can be a pathway to building a livable city.
WHEN: Tuesday, March 24th, 2:00 to 3:30 p.m.
WHERE: George Brown Polytechnic, 200 King St. E., St James Campus, Room SJA 455E
ACCESS: We will have ASL interpretation. This is a mask-mandatory event. For questions about access please email eliza.chandler@torontomu.ca

Tax Essentials: What Every Student Should Know (Slay Your Taxes)
This workshop helps participants understand how income tax works, including why taxes are paid and how the government uses the collected funds. Attendees learn about the special rules that apply to students, such as contribution limits, non-taxable income, and the differences between RRSPs and TFSAs. The session also explains how tax credits and deductions can reduce a tax bill or even increase a refund, providing participants with the knowledge and confidence needed to file their own tax returns.
