Are Green Burials the way of the future? We're all going to die, and we all hope to leave a positive impact on the planet and our loved ones when we do. With impact in mind, many consumers are looking at alternative burials as a means of reducing emissions, chemicals, and energy use after the end of life. Low-cost, minimalist services and natural burials that allow the body to decompose naturally are trending, and consumers are contemplating a range of new and emerging burial options, including “liquid cremation”, freeze-drying, or growing into a tree from an organic “burial pod”. What are the benefits and the drawbacks of alternative burials? Are they really green? How widespread are they, and how legal? Is our discomfort with alternative options simply a discomfort with the fact that we, too, will one day die? Panelists: Pamela Harvey, Advanced Preplanning Director and Licensed Funeral Director, French Family Funeral Home & Cremation Centre Camille Lemieux, Professor and Coordinator, Funeral Director Programs, School of Health Sciences, Collège Boréal Sarah Walker, President, Memorial Society of Northern Ontario Moderator: Dana Murchison, Staff Scientist, Science North NEW!

The evening will include hors d'oeuvres, silent auction, live music, and four guest authors. The funds raised from the event will go towards the Friends of the Greater Sudbury Public Library, to support new programs and update local branches, and the Cambrian Foundation, to fund bursaries for future public relations students. So come on out for a good cause, good reads, and a great experience. Tickets $20 Guest authors: Lara Bradley: Lara, a former journalist, is involved in many types of writing. Her short story, Dust of my Own Moon, was published in the anthology, Along the 46th. She is currently working on the play she wrote, Blind Nickel Pig, with Pat the Dog Theatre. Kari Fisher: Kari’s debut novel, Through Glass, was written in a mere 26 days as part of the NANOWRIMO challenge. She went on to continue the series by publishing its second book, Like Glass We Break. She has also published a collection of poetry, titled Reality Loses Color, and is in the process of creating her fourth book. Laura Young: Laura, a local journalist, was another author featured in Along the 46th, with her story Remains of Luck. She went on to publish Solo Yet Never Alone: Swimming the Great Lakes. In addition to continuing her career in journalism, Laura continues to work on new writing projects. Allan McDougall: Allan, originally from the Sudbury area, now travels the world speaking. His book, Breaking Through, chronicles his life, his struggles, and his ability to overcome them. After the tedious process of publishing his book, Allan began his own publishing company to help aspiring authors get started.

The March for Science is a celebration of our passion for science and a call to support and safeguard the scientific community. Recent policy changes have caused heightened worry among scientists, and the incredible and immediate outpouring of support has made clear that these concerns are also shared by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Mischaracterization of science as a partisan issue, which has given policymakers permission to reject overwhelming evidence, is a critical and urgent matter. It is time for people who support scientific research and evidence-based policies to take a public stand and be counted. ON APRIL 22, 2017, WE WALK OUT OF THE LAB AND INTO THE STREETS. We are scientists and science enthusiasts. We come from all races, all religions, all gender identities, all sexual orientations, all socioeconomic backgrounds, all political perspectives, and all nationalities. Our diversity is our greatest strength: a wealth of opinions, perspectives, and ideas is critical for the scientific process. What unites us is a love of science, and an insatiable curiosity. We all recognize that science is everywhere and affects everyone. For this reason, the March for Science stands in solidarity with other important movements: - Climate activism - The Women's March - Indigenous MMIW/Land rights/Water protectors - LGBTQ - Diversity in the workplace - Equal access to education for all More details on the March for Science will be posted as they are made available.
