Our celebrations will begin with a Water Sustainability Resource Fair in the Student Union Building. Then, we’ll gather at Cinecenta for a screening of the new film The Spirit Who Swims (2024). Immediately following the film, Laura Brandes (Communications Director, POLIS Water Sustainability Project) will facilitate a dialogue and Q&A with special guests Bev Sellars (film producer/co-director; former Chief Xatśūll Nation), Robert Clifford (Co-Academic Director, Indigenous Legal Studies, Allard School of Law, University of British Columbia), Deborah Curran (Executive Director, Environmental Law Centre, University of Victoria), and Garry Tutte (film co-director/cinematographer).
