Spring-time update and Open the Cages tour!

There has been a bit of a hiatus! but.... we should be back to having regular meetings, potlucks and creating events as summer approaches!

The birds are a-nesting and spring has arrived!

We will be having a potluck/get together within the next couple of weeks, once the date is finalized it will be posted on the calender and facebook page (link here)!

There is going to be an 'Open the Cages' tour in August (more info here and here) which will be stopping in Toronto on the 24th and 25th for a two day event. I thought maybe we could go down to the event as a group? if anyone else in the Peterborough area would like to go then you can contact us at Animalequity@gmail.com and maybe we could sort out some ride-shares? places to stay the night of the 24th in Toronto?
We can sort out logistics closer to the time but keep an eye out as we get a list of people together and try to get a strong Peterborough-area contingent at the event!

BUTTON-MAKING MEETING and POTLUCK!!

The next meeting will be next thursday and should be fun! we will be making buttons! so if you have any silhouettes that you want AES put on (like the picture here) or have any other ideas for what we could do for buttons then let me know/design something/bring pictures.... whatever you think would make for some good buttons for us. I will print out and bring a bunch of the silhouette type ones as well.

for the movie I have posted a poll on the main facebookgroup page for the meeting next week as well as... the OPIRG screening so please feel free to add any other options as well as vote! http://www.facebook.com/events/calendar#!/groups/438281019566256/

Next meeting and seminar on the meaning of 'Rights'

Next meeting!! Everyone is welcome, it is an anti-oppressive space where we can all discuss what Animal Rights means to us on an individual basis, or if you have never really thought about it where better to get an understanding of the issue!

The meeting will be short, seeing what we were able to get done since last meeting (Restaurant survey, aramark food petition, Volunteering at monkey sanctuary, etc)

We will then move onto the Seminar section which will be run by Karena Kyne (Phd Candidate, York University and Anti-Oppression Consultant) on the meaning of 'rights' with regard to animals. There may be an article posted beforehand if you would like to read it so you can start thinking about this topic! it will be in a discussion format where ...people can discuss what they think about the issue, it should be fun and informative, so dont miss out!

I will bring a couple of documentaries as well just in case we still want to watch one after the meeting and seminar..   

The meeting will be held in The Pit (directions below), in Lady Eaton College, at Trent University on the 31st of January at 7pm

If you have any questions feel free to comment, email at animalequity@gmail.com , or join our facebook page!

First A.E.S. meeting and movie screening of 2013!

Our first meeting of the new year! We are hoping to have lots of new faces out this year to build and continue on the work we started in 2012. We are meeting for the first time since December, after many people made it out to our delicious A.E.S. potluck. At the last meeting we discussed the goal of taking a group trip to an animal sanctuary and brainstormed fundraising ideas for both the animals as well as to fund the trip to volunteer for a day. You can see more about the meeting minutes and topics discussed by requesting to join the mailing list or our Facebook page.

This week marks the sixth meeting where we will be screening the 1981 documentary; The Animals Film, directed by Victor Schonfeld and Myriam Alaux, and narrated by actress Julie Christie.

Before the documentary screening, we will be talking about further progression with the group, discussing any new ideas or questions anyone brings up. Please feel free to join us at Trent University on Thursday, January 17th, 2013 at Lady Eaton College. Anyone can take part and listen to the discussion or ask questions.
