SUMMARY:How Can You Think That?! Political Book Club: Viewpoint Diversity
DESCRIPTION:A book club for conservatives and liberals who want to get out of their echo chambers and bridge the great divide. Buy the book\, read it\, and come join us for a lively discussion. This month’s book is Viewpoint Diversity by John Tomasi and Bernard Schweizer \nAbout the book: \nViewpoint diversity is suddenly on everyone’s lips — yet few agree on what it really means. Is it about political balance? Free speech? Academic inclusion? Or something far more vital — the courage to engage across difference? \nIn Viewpoint Diversity: What It Is\, Why We Need It\, and How to Get It\, leading heterodox thinkers tackle one of the most urgent questions of our time: how to keep open inquiry and constructive disagreement alive amid rising conformity on both left and right. Spanning essays on higher education\, politics\, culture\, and the arts\, this bold collection offers both sharp diagnosis and practical solutions for cultivating genuine pluralism. \nTimely\, provocative\, and refreshingly constructive\, Viewpoint Diversity makes the case for a richer\, freer\, and more resilient public culture — one that thrives not in spite of disagreement\, but because of it. \nMore about the book club: \nWe’ve all felt it: Whether we’ve argued pointlessly with someone on social media\, felt our blood pressure rise as we’ve fought over politics with family members\, or simply veered delicately away from certain topics\, it’s hard to ignore the chasm between those who hold opposing political views. And it feels like it’s getting worse\, that politics are getting uglier\, and that reasonable discussion is falling by the wayside. What can ordinary people do to bridge the great divide? We can read books that smart and reasonable people have written in defense of their views and we can talk about these books with others who may or may not wear the political stripes we do. Come to Shelf Life Books for a monthly book club that does just that. Ideally\, participants will have read the book assigned for that day\, and will come prepared to discuss it. All of the books on our list will be made available by Shelf Life. We will meet from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the last Saturday of every month (except for April).

SUMMARY:PlayLab: Circuit Jam
DESCRIPTION:Join us in PlayLab and make music by building circuits and experimenting with synthesizers.  \n\nIn this hands-on drop-in program\, participants build simple circuits and create sounds they can hear instantly. Try things out\, make changes\, and see what happens as you explore how sound is shaped through play and experimentation. Kids discover how electricity and circuits become music through hands-on making and discovery. \n\nDesigned for ages 9-12\, Circuit Jam makes music creation immediate and accessible while introducing the building blocks of electronic sound. \n\nAbout PlayLab \n\nPlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where young visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that feature strings\, wind\, percussion\, and electronic instruments\, kids experiment with the building blocks of sound—pitch\, volume\, timbre\, and vibration. Pluck a string\, strike a drum\, blow into an organ\, or shape sound on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed for curiosity and creativity\, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely\, explore freely\, and learn how musicians turn sound into music.

SUMMARY:Jingle Cone Keychain Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever heard the twinkling of the jingle dress and wanted to know how they’re made? The jingle cones behind the iconic sound have been made from repurposed and recycled materials since at least the 18th century. Historically used as decoration on clothing and jewelry\, now they typically adorn beautiful jingle dresses at powwows. \nIn this workshop\, Saulteaux-Métis artist Rey-J Horsefall and Métis artist Arlan LaVallee-Nairn will teach guests the historical and modern Indigenous use of jingle cones. Using metalsmithing and cold smithing techniques\, Rey-J and Arlan will walk you through the hands-on process of cutting and shaping jingle cones to create a unique jingle cone keychain. \nWorkshop includes materials\, instruction\, and admission to The Confluence Cultural Centre.
