SUMMARY:Quiet Cameras\, Loud Stories: Capturing Wildlife & Climate Storytelling at Scale
DESCRIPTION:🗓️ Tuesday\, June 2 \n⏰ 6pm – 8pm \n📍 The Lab | Vegutainment Centre \n108 Dundas St W\, 2nd Floor \n  \nAbout Event \nTraditional film production is built on a “Waste Era” mindset: Heavy gear\, large crews\, and high-energy footprints. But for the climate-conscious founder\, animal advocate\, or solo marketer\, this bloat is a barrier to both authenticity and sustainability. \nJoin award-winning documentary filmmaker and Chartered Marketer Alex Leonard for a technical\, strategy-first workshop at The Lab. We are moving past “output” and toward Resource Sovereignty: the ability to capture professional-grade\, high-ROI wildlife and climate content using minimal gear and maximum narrative intent. \nThe objective of the workshop is to empower marketing creators and founders to build a repeatable\, low-waste content system that prioritizes radical honesty and technical efficiency over high-production bloat. The workshop will explore the idea of AI tools\, how they can build repeatable systems\, and AI and datacentre’s roll on the environment. \nThe event\, hosted by AL Media and Wishbone Animal Rights Lab/The Lab\, is a workshop for solo creators\, founders\, and marketers who want a repeatable content system not another tool list. \nLearn the non-negotiable tools every creator needs\, how AI can accelerate your planning without replacing your voice\, and a framework for turning raw ideas into polished video. \n  \nA NOTE ON THE SPACE \nWishbone Animal Rights Labs/The Lab | Vegutainment & Business Centre are cruelty-free venues. As a courtesy to the space\, we kindly ask that you avoid wearing animal-derived materials (leather\, fur\, etc.) and refrain from bringing any animal-product food or beverages into the building. Plant-based snacks will be provided. Thanks for honouring the space. \n  \nDIRECTIONS \nFrom St. Patrick Station (Line 1\, University side) Exit at Dundas level → cross to north side → walk east on Dundas → past Centre Avenue → Wishbone is on your left\, just before or right at Bay. 5–6 min · ~450m. \n505 Dundas streetcar stops at Bay & Dundas — 30-second walk east from the stop. \nClosest parking: Green P at City Hall (110 Queen W)\, Eaton Centre garage\, or Atrium on Bay.

With a focus on environmental safety and animal protection\, Sue has been instrumental in transforming their second-floor heritage space into a hub for inclusive education and community media resources. Under her leadership\, Wishbone Labs serves as both a social space and a professional gallery\, aiming to host over 2\,000 visitors annually who are passionate about sustainable living. Sue’s work is defined by the belief that for the environmental movement to be effective\, it must first be accessible to everyone\, setting a new standard for small-footprint non-profits in urban centres. \n  \nI understand when I attend an event I enter an area where photography\, audio\, and video recording may occur. By entering the event premises\, I consent to such recording media and its release\, publication\, exhibition or reproduction. \n  \nTickets: https://luma.com/tocw-9r44

SUMMARY:Rethinking the Menu: Mobilizing Cities for Climate-Safe and Plant-Based Food Systems
DESCRIPTION:🗓️ June 3 \n⏰ 6:00pm-7:30pm \n📍 Wishbone Animal Rights Lab\, Suite 305 \n600 Bay Street \n💲 Cost: Free \n  \nCities have a critical opportunity to lead on climate action through food. \n  \nFive cities in southern Ontario have endorsed the Plant Based Treaty to date. This panel explores our partnerships with cities to promote plant-based food policies and greening the city: \n  \n– Richmond Hill – including sharing recipes\, vendors and films to promote plant-based food and introducing plant-based pancakes at Maple Syrup festival; \n  \n– Brampton – now has plant based options at events and plant based food awareness week during Earth Month; \n  \n– Caledon – we do food demos (including making hyper nourishing green smoothies) for the mayor and city councillor and public for Earth Hour\, Earth Day and Waste Reduction days. \n  \n– Shifting to plant-based food menus across public institutions\, workplaces\, and communities can lower greenhouse gas emissions\, reduce land and water use\, improve public health\, and increase access to affordable food options. \n  \nThis session focuses on action\, including how to advocate for policy change and scale impact. Attendees will leave with clear next steps to become part of a campaign and help bring more cities on board as part of a growing global movement for plant-based food systems. \n  \nAbout the Host: \nThe Plant Based Treaty is a global initiative that encourages governments\, institutions\, and individuals to shift toward plant-based food systems to address climate change\, biodiversity loss\, and food insecurity. It works through policy advocacy\, public information campaigns\, and partnerships to support a transition away from animal agriculture toward sustainable\, plant-based solutions. \n  \nRegister here: \nhttps://luma.com/n3gb3r6d \n  \nOrganizer’s website: \n🌱 https://plantbasedtreaty.org/ \n  \n🐾 Attention: \n⚠️ Animal-free foods only.
