Check out our upcoming livestream on harm reduction at Concordia happening this Thursday, May 11th, from 6-7 pm on our YouTube! We’re going to be interviewing Alice Gendron from CSSDP (Canadian Students for Sensible Drug Policy) about harm reduction for students and why it’s important. We will also be talking about advocacy work for people who used drugs, what sort of work CSSDP does, and more! If you are curious about harm reduction and want to learn more than definitely tune in on Thursday and keep an eye out for upcoming livestreams. Clean audio can be tricky to perfect – whether it’s for a podcast or the sound in a video project. If you find yourself struggling at all with sound or just want to learn more about audio in general, sign up for our beginner friendly tutorial hosted by Pascal Huynh. Pascal is a board member at CUTV and has hosted successful workshops for us in the past. With a film animation degree from Mel Hoppenheim, work experience for the National Film Board of Canada, and a current position as a full time digital arts teacher, Pascal is always eager to spread his knowledge to the community.

Concordia prides itself on being a progressive and sustainable university, so why are we still relying on multinational corporations for our food system? This campaign protests the contract that Concordia has with Aramark to be the university’s primary food source and introduces Concordia’s community to more sustainable food systems that have successfully been integrated into other Canadian Universities. Join CUTV at Reggies Bar on Nov. 23rd from 4-6pm for a screening of CUTV’s “No More Aramark” explainer video. Join us next Wednesday, Nov. 2nd at 4:00pm for a Zoom discussion on Decolonizing the News with Odette Auger. Odette is a journalist at Indiginews, an Indigenous owned and operated platform in British Columbia. In this talk, we will be unpacking the ways in which news rooms and news publications have upheld colonial values, and how journalists are reinventing the world of media. Join us for a discussion about drug use representation in the media with Hilary Agro! Hilary is a PhD candidate at the University of British Columbia in Anthropology whose research covers drug use policy, activism, and the harms of drug prohibition. She is also a self professed rave mom and has a long history of involvement within rave communities and with community organizing around drugs. In this talk we will be covering the misinformation and disinformation spread by mainstream, corporate media in regards to drugs and analyzing the various moral panics that have been instigated through fear mongering tactics used by the media. We will also be touching on the role that the media has played within the drug war, the influence of colonialism, white supremacy, and the police, as well as the role that independent, grassroots media can play in reshaping these narratives and dispelling the drug myths that we see today.
