U of T's Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education proudly presents the Toronto launch of Madeleine Orr's new book, Warming Up, on May 9 at the Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport.
A leading sport ecologist and professor at the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education, Madeleine Orr explores the threat climate change poses to sport--and how the sports world can fight back. With billions of participants and fans around the world who rely on the sector for entertainment, jobs, fitness and health, this is one industry we can't afford to lose.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. for a mix-and-mingle session with refreshments, followed by a thought-provoking panel discussion and an audience Q & A. Afterward, Professor Orr will be available to sign copies of her book. The U of T Bookstore will be on-site throughout the event selling copies of Warming Up, while quantities last.
Don't miss this unforgettable discussion about climate change’s devastating impact on sport, and the bold and optimistic way forward through an era of emergency.
