Uptown Climate Futures Anthology Launch Party
About this Event
Ticket proceeds will be split evenly to fund our future work and a donation to Collins First Nation to help rebuild after wildfires this summer.
Through Uptown Climate Futures, we convened community through a friendly, conversational workshop series, culminating into the Uptown Climate Futures Anthology.
We've been hard at work bringing the antholigy to life, and now it's finally time to launch the anthology and celebrate!
📅 Date: September 3rd
⏰ Time: 6:00–8:00 PM
📍 Location: Food Hall TO (5210 Yonge Street)
What to expect: See and purchase the anthology (also available alongside your ticket), catch up with friends old and new to the sound of local beats, discussions and readings with anthology contributors, stand up comedy, open-mic performances, and our signature warm atmosphere and hot meal included with every ticket!
Whether you're new to the community or have been to every workshop, come celebrate and be part of this transformative community of changemakers, storytellers, and visionaries.
Space is limited—secure your spot today!

About Uptown Climate Conversations:
Hi, our names are Maggie, Victoria, and MJ, and we are the leaders of Uptown Climate Conversations. It’s lovely to meet you!
We are three BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) twenty-something post-secondary graduates who are passionate about social and environmental sustainability. Once we left our school campuses, we noticed that it was difficult to get involved with causes we cared about. We found very little opportunity for us to talk about our experiences and find our community. Additionally, the groups that did exist were often heavily concentrated in the downtown core, which was less accessible to people like us, who were living in the uptown area of Toronto. These downtown groups didn’t always represent the experiences of people living uptown, either, and it was something we craved.
So, we built Uptown Climate Conversations (UCC), a BIPOC-forward sustainability oriented community centered in North York to better serve the community in “Uptown” Toronto. If this resonates with you, please take a seat at the table, we’d love for you to join us!
About The Climateverse:
The Climateverse is a transformation lab and multimedia studio focused on radically imagining and co-creating climate just futures.
We believe that in practicing radical imagination, we make better futures possible.
The Climateverse is also a space for scanning signals, trends and drivers of change to understand and prepare for how these are shaping all the possible futures already on their way.
We offer services in strategic visioning, from workshops to strategic foresight and creative advisory.
And we also produce creative productions, like our landmark Dispatch from Other Dimensions: a newscast reporting live from parallel dimensions where humanity is actually taking more transformative action on climate and social justice.
