SEJ Toronto Pub Night Series
September 7, 2010
 

SEJ Pub Nights take place the first Tuesday of every month, September through April, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Each month we invite a guest speaker for a brief, informal conversation about an area of interest, and we're in the process of lining up some great ones for the year ahead. We welcome journalists who cover environmental issues, or who wish to, as well as journalism students, academics, and other interested parties. The goal is to get some useful information and having ample opportunity to chat about environmental journalism amongst ourselves. See past speakers: 2010 and 2009.

The first pub night of the season, on September 7th, will be an informal affair at C'est What?, the best pub in Toronto for Ontario beer.

Open to all journalists with an interest in the beat. Instead of a guest, the evening will include a round of esoteric Environmental Disaster Trivia.

It's free, but space is limited: RSVP so that we can ensure there's a seat for you: SEJpubnight@saunderseditor.com

WHO: Toronto and area members of the Society of Environmental Journalists, friends and folk interested in SEJ or environmental journalism
WHEN: September 7, 2010; 7:00 p.m.
WHERE: C'est What?, 67 Front Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Hope to see you there! Feel free to invite interested colleagues.

Upcoming guests:

• November:  Chris Magwood, author of books on straw bale building.
• December: Shelagh Grant, Trent University history professor and author of Polar Imperative, an excellent new book on the history of Arctic sovereignty.
