APIRG: Disorganize! 2005

back to home page

“DISORGANIZE! 2005” is a 3-day alternative orientation to the University of Alberta and Edmonton during which students get a unique and exciting opportunity to explore a range of social justice issues and organizations and meet other students with similar interests. Students are introduced to community and activist organizations from Edmonton, exposed to a variety of pertinent issues via workshops and discussions, and given the opportunity to familiarize themselves with their surroundings in a way that may otherwise not be possible during their time at the U of A.

Captain Paul Watson of The Sea Shepherd Society

September 15th at 7:00p.m

Edmontonians have the rare opportunity to hear Captain Paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Society, speak. Described as “the Captain Nemo for our times,” Watson has fought for three decades to protect whales, dolphins, seals, and other sea creatures by direct actions against pirate whalers, drift netters, shark finners and illegal fishing operations.

Watson will present frank and riveting accounts of his global crusades, discuss threats to marine wildlife, and address how we can all make the difference between extinction and survival. He will also address the annual Canadian seal slaughter and what Sea Sheperd and other organizations are doing to stop it.
