Creativity of Love

This episode on "Buen vivir" concludes our Creativity of Love series, where we’ve asked ourselves this summer how we can actively “prepare a better time in these days”.

Faith Connections’ Program Coordinator, Erika, closes out our thoughts on how to move forward, how to take our next steps by looking at the "Buen vivir" concept with Fr. Greg Kennedy, SJ, Spiritual Director at the Ignatius Jesuit Centre in Guelph, ON, and author of Reupholstered Psalms and the children's book,  Amazing Friendships Between Animals and Saints.

We’re continuing our Creativity of Love series, asking ourselves how we can actively “prepare a better time in these days” and be beside each other, in love, patience, and action.

Faith Connections focused this episode on exploring what a “just transition” is, with three guests that offer us very different and unique perspectives.

Firstly, we chat with Sr. Sue Wilson, Office for Systemic Justice for the Federation of Sisters of St. Joseph of Canada, and Leah Watkiss, Ministry Director, Ministry for Social Justice, Peace, and Creation Care, about what some of their ongoing work has been and all the different elements of “justice” that it encompasses.

We then chat with Lliam Hildebrand, Executive Director and Chairman of Iron & Earth, to learn more about what the economic reality is for workers in one of Canada’s most important industry, Oil & Gas, and the potential a just transition holds for everyone.

Lastly, we look at the impact of these issues on some local youth, with Miranda Baksh, Co-Founder of Community Climate Council. We hear about how young people local to the Toronto area are bringing up the rear, so to speak, with their forward thinking, advocacy, and action.
