SUMMARY:Gibsons Library: Philosophy Cafe
DESCRIPTION:What is the true meaning of “success” in life? What is a “good education”? \nJoin the discussion as we talk about the eternal Big Questions\, moderated by a trained philosopher. The moderator’s aim is not to find winners and losers in a debate\, but to use all viewpoints as clues to the puzzle that\, if completed\, would offer us a truth of sorts. A different topic each time. All are welcome\, including those who would rather mostly listen. \nFacilitated by: Dr. Stephen Hare \nIn person\, drop in. \nWe also host an evening session on one Wednesday evening a month for folks who can’t make it during the day.

SUMMARY:Gibsons Library: Book Club: Outspoken
DESCRIPTION:Come join our discussion of Betty Baxter’s new book! \nWhen Betty Baxter was hired to coach the Canadian women’s volleyball team in 1980\, she was met with a media frenzy as the first woman in the position. Then her career was cut short—Baxter was fired in January 1982 and tossed from volleyball at age twenty-nine because of rumours about her sexual orientation. \nThis personal memoir chronicles Baxter’s journey from a small-town prairie girl discovering her passion for sports\, through the years of international success\, including harsh coaches\, excruciating training regimes and the inequities in the sports system\, especially for a closeted gay athlete. After her abrupt dismissal\, Baxter turned to activism\, seeking equality for women\, initiating a new coaching school and working for a healthy\, visible LGBTQ+ community through the internationally recognized Gay Games. \nAll are welcome (even if you haven’t read the book!). Register below. \nRegistration required here
