Nearly a century has passed since public pressure led to the establishment of the New York City Noise Abatement Commission in 1929. Ordinances, laws and regulations around the world were similarly trying to address this new and unintended side-effect of modernity as industrial machinery, trucks, cars, trains and airplanes were built and used with little regard for those exposed to the sounds – the receiver – produced by their operation. While there have been notable reductions in noise at source and during transmission, one can argue that the receivers (e.g., people) are in the same predicament they were 100 years ago, in large part because of our subjective experiences of sound and the challenges of controlling sound waves as a physical phenomenon. This seminar will provide an overview of predominant approaches to characterizing, understanding and controlling environmental noise exposures, and highlight contextual and cultural nuances that complicate the goal of noise reduction in Toronto and Canada at large.

Organizer: Grandmothers Act to Save the Planet (GASP)

As Queen's Park session opens again, this is a reminder to the current government about the amount cumulative damage to land and water that their legislation and policies are causing: selling off provincial park land at Wasaga Beach; Ontario Place ecosystem destruction and tree cutting; the proposed 413 and Bradford Bypasses that cut through environmental sensitive lands and fresh water systems; legislation that threaten fresh water from heavy industrial water takings by undermining of guardrail protections; gutting of the Endangered Species Act; potential impact on the Breathing Lands of James Bay; and the proposed amalgamation of the Conservation Authorities; - just to name a few!

Please join us at the front of Queen's Park Legislative Building for an hour to make our voices heard.

Organizer: School of Cities

Join Jesse M. Keenan in conversation about his recently published book, North: The Future of Post Climate America (Oxford University Press).

In North: The Future of Post-Climate America, Jesse M. Keenan argues that America is entering a new era marked by shifts in population that will transform everything from the physical landscape of cities to electoral politics. First, Keenan examines how human mobility is shaped by the environment and the economy. Next, he provides a conceptual and empirical overview of adaptation science, with a focus on how people, governments, and markets are preparing for and responding to climate impacts. He documents how physical impacts in the built environment, escalating costs, and public sector inertia are converging to drive people out of high-risk areas, while, at the same time, certain other areas are attracting people who seek a more sustainable way of life. North is not just a collection of scientific observations and projections about the peril of those left behind. It is also a projection of optimism about America’s capacity for decarbonization, environmental stewardship, and economic mobility for those on the move.

Explore your role in Toronto’s food system and envision a more just, resilient future through discussion, mapping, and food justice action.

This workshop invites participants to step back and examine how they personally fit within Toronto’s food system — as eaters, workers, growers, organizers, and community members. Through guided discussion and mapping activities, we’ll explore who holds power in the current system, who is excluded, and what a more just, resilient, and community-rooted food system could look like. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of local food system dynamics and concrete ways to engage in food justice work at the neighbourhood and city scale.

Organizer: Change Course

Through the Major Projects Office and federal subsidies, the Carney government is financing projects like LNG, and so-called “critical“ minerals, and subsidizing them using your tax dollars. These projects, portrayed as being in the national interest, are wrecking the climate and violating Indigenous rights!

Join for a community conversation on how extractive projects are being de-risked and subsidized through recent federal policies. The event, organized by Change Course, will highlight work being done by 8th Fire Rising, an Indigenous-led coalition of concerned and impacted communities fighting the recent flood of legislation targeting Indigenous, environmental and labour rights. The conversation will be followed by a group visioning exercise to imagine the kinds of nation building projects we’d rather see.

​An Evening of Film, Conversation, and Collective Sense-Making

​Wildfires, floods, rising costs of living, growing inequality, geopolitical tensions, the threat of AI—many of us feel that something in our world is no longer working. Are these separate challenges, or are they somehow connected? How might we navigate this moment and come out on the other side?

​Join us for an evening of film and conversation, as we explore how these challenges might be linked to stories we tell ourselves about progress, growth, and success. And how GDP is a grossly flawed measure of human and planetary flourishing.

​We will be screening the documentary The Cost of Growth, which invites us to look beneath today’s crises and ask deeper questions about our economic systems, whose interests they serve, and what alternative futures might be possible.

​The screening will be followed by a lightly facilitated conversation—no prior expertise required, just curiosity and openness.

Israel’s use of white phosphorus in Palestine and toxic glyphosate in South Lebanon as seen recently as  modern acts of ecocide. As the Vietnamese diaspora, we carry the legacy of war and environmental destruction, especially from Agent Orange. On February 28, join us Very.Lao.d and  community member for a fundraiser supporting Trần Tố Nga, a survivor of Agent Orange and a courageous activist. She is suing Monsanto-Bayer, Dow Chemical, and others for their role in manufacturing the toxic chemical. Her case seeks justice for millions affected and recognition of ecocide as a crime.

Trần Tố Nga’s body bears the scars: dioxin poisoning, cancer, and the loss of her daughter. Her fight is for global reparations of imperial violence and corporate accountability.

The event features a screening of The People vs. Agent Orange (2020) and a community discussion on ecocide, climate justice, and imperial violence.

Initially used in livestock and energy management circles to designate spaces earmarked for exploitation and degradation in order to preserve others, the nomenclature of sacrifice zones has been reclaimed by the environmental justice movement to call to our attention the unequal distribution of environmental harms due to the spatial patterning of industry. While the term helps bring visibility to how racialized and marginalized communities bear a high burden of environmental hazards, it is also toxic, for it has resulted in narratives that consistently stress how polluted an ecosystem is and how unhealthy the communities it sustains are. This is treacherous terrain, for perceptions of populations and ecosystems as “waste(d)” prime them to become pollution sinks. Simultaneously, such rhetoric, by championing relocation as the most desirable remedy to environmental injustice, encourages further land dispossession.

To make this case, this presentation probes framings of Aamjiwnaang First Nation’s experience of environmental injustice and offers representational justice as an orienting principle that acknowledges the binds between representation as a civic and political right and representation as depiction, as how one is shown and made recognizable to the world.

The 2026 Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference in Toronto is looming, and we here at MISN would like to invite you to a teach-in & art build in preparation!

We will be discussing the links between mining and militarism, Canada’s role in the global mining industry, and why it is so critical for us to disrupt PDAC 2026! We would love to hear from you and your communities about your concerns around mining and militarism.

We KNOW that a future focused on mining is one which poisons the land and water, violates the sovereignty of Indigenous nations, and fuels Canadian military violence abroad.

Accessibility note: The art build will be located in the basement down two flights of stairs. Please contact us via info@mininginjustice.org if you would like to participate but have accessibility concerns.
