Nov 3, 2026 - Learning from the Prairie School

When: November 3rd, 6:30pm

Our first Speaker Series event, Learning from the Prairie School, features Barb Byers, with commentary from Donna Smith.

The Global Labour Research Centre (GLRC) at York University in Toronto, Canada, in partnership with the SSHRC-funded Re-Imagining Workers' Education in the 21st Century project, is launching a new virtual Speaker Series on workers' education. The broader project seeks to renew understandings of radical workers' education as a vital social project; strengthen connections among workers, labour educators, community activists, practitioners and scholars; and bring together experiences from workers' education initiatives in different contexts. We hope to use the Speaker Series as an initial step toward building a broader network of people committed to advancing radical workers' education.

Nov 4, 2026 - Booklaunch: The Other Side of the Tracks

When: Wednesday November 4th, 7pm

Elizabeth Rouble Hill's fascinating narrative focuses on her personal contribution to the socialist values quietly gifted to her by her parents. Each of the 28 revealing, warm, dramatic chapters of discovery and comprehension recount her personal growth. The reader is attracted to her pride in her successes, small and large, first as a child, then an adolescent and finally an adult, in breaking down the barriers of the social world into which she and her siblings were born "on the other side of the tracks" within the "cold war" of middle and late 20th century Toronto. Her remarkable story is an appreciative homage to her parents.
