Eating Disorder Presentation and Discussion / Framsetning og Umræða um Átröskun / Presentación y Discusión sobre el Trastorno Alimentario
The presentation (in English) will explain the underlying cause of eating disorders, and will also discuss the diet industry and recovery. The main themes are science and oppressive forces. The presentation does not include personal stories or graphic images (there is a trigger warning for one slide with non-graphic, Instagram-type images).
The discussion will not be a personal story-share/support group, but you can find the host afterwards if you’d like to talk more about support.
This is open to people with and without eating disorders.
This event is not the place to invalidate people with eating disorders or argue with anti-diet information.
Accessibility:
There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door).
The bathrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building). There is no bathroom on the ground floor.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral. The event takes place on the ground floor.
“In Canada, your postal code determines your health.”
Environmental racism has defined so-called Canada since its very beginnings. Indigenous and Black communities are at much higher risk of health problems caused by toxic industries taking over their communities and land without their consent.
This event is a fundraiser for the Mi’kmaq water protectors on Shubenacadie River and all proceeds will go to them (https://stopaltongas.wordpress.com). Recommended donation is 2000 ISK but no one will be turned away.
There are going to be snacks, drinks, chaga tea, and a screening of Ellen Page’s movie “There’s Something in the Water.” The film premiered at TIFF in 2019 and is based on the book There’s Something In The Water: Environmental Racism in Indigenous & Black Communities by Ingrid Waldron. There will be a short introduction about some of the most notorious cases of environmental racism in Mi’kma’ki, such as the Alton Gas salt cavern project or the Pictou Landing pulp mill pollution, before the movie.
