The second Reading the River session will begin at the Port Credit Memorial Arena, where we will walk along the riverbank through Port Credit Memorial Park to gather for a reading and discussion with Joy Xiang. Participants will discuss Xiang’s text “This, Too, Will Contaminate” from Issue 03: BEARING of our SDUK broadsheet series, which considers how pollution and contamination permeate within and throughout our bodies. Extending this conversation, Julien Gordon, Ecosystem Goods and Services Technician, Credit Valley Conservation, will discuss watershed and community health through the lens of ecosystem services.

Presented as part of The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge public programming series, part of The Work of Wind: Air, Land, Sea.
