The Cool Down: AWOL Wrap-Up Party
Friday, September 22nd
6:30pm-10:00pm
Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre
8426 Gateway Blvd NW
This summer we experienced record breaking temperatures, dismal air quality, skyrocketting grocery store prices, and more. All of this in the wake of the continued COVID-19 pandemic and the University of Alberta choosing to continue to increase tuition costs for students.
Where does it end? When do we cool down?
We don't know the answer to the first question yet, but we have something to offer to answer the second - on Friday, September 22nd, join us at the Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre for The Cool Down - an evening packed full of performances from local artists, music to dance to (we'll teach you the electric slide), and interactive activities to talk about what the HECK went down this summer!
Admission is free for students and by donation for members of the community. We will be collecting donations on site at the event.
This event is part of A Week of Liberation (AWOL). AWOL is APIRG's back to school event series running from September 18th-22nd centered around building community, knowledge and power for social change. Visit apirg.org/awol to learn more.
