Hot Talks Event Challenges and Inspires

Last night the crowd at the Markham Theatre was treated to an evening that challenged and inspired as they gathered for the first “Hot Talks at Markham Theatre” event where the topic for the evening was “Canadian professionals and social activism: an option or an obligation?”  Dr. Jane Philpott shared ideas of how we all can be part of the solution to AIDS in the world by hosting a Harambee, running a workplace campaign or finding other ways to “give a day”. 

Dr. Jeff Turnbull and Stephen Lewis engaged and enlightened the audience and challenged them to take action. 

The music of Madagascar Slim and Soul Influence ensured that people went away feeling inspired and energized, ready to find ways for social action in their individual lives.
