1. TUNE IN TO MENTAL HEALTH
Thanks to the work of people like Olympian Clara Hughes, who’s the public face of Let’s Talk, more and more people are opening up about their mental health issues. Witness the Ah Hell… Let’s Talk! event on Wednesday (January 27), 9:30 pm, at the Social Capital Theatre, 154 Danforth, where a whack of comedians share their stories. Brie Watson hosts headliner Allison Dore, Ify Chiwetelu and others, with proceeds going to the Canadian Mental Health Association. Pwyc. socap.ca.
2. WHAT NEXT AFTER PARIS?
Delegates from the Paris climate conference discuss the historic action agreement and what you, dear citizen, can do to effect change (there is much debate about that), in a wide-ranging discussion hosted by ClimateFast at Friends House, 60 Lowther, on Saturday (January 23), 1:30 to 5 pm. $5/pwyc. Pre-register at climatefast.ca.
3. JOIN THE FREE PUBLIC TRANSIT MOVEMENT
