On May 9, 2024, the Faculty proudly hosted the Toronto launch of Madeleine Orr's new book, Warming Up: How Climate Change is Changing Sport.
A leading sport ecologist, Orr explored the impact of climate change on organized sport and discussed potential solutions on a panel featuring Shireen Ahmed, senior contributor at CBC Sports and instructor of sports journalism and sport media at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), Marco Di Buono, president of Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities and vocal advocate for the health and well-being of children and youth, and Alicia Brown, accomplished track athlete and U of T alumna, who is now part of the Hart House's Fitness, Wellness and Recreation team.
