A comedy fundraiser, ‘Humour for Hope. Homelessness is No Joke!’, featuring Don Kelly is being organized by the Sociology and Social Justice Studies students at Lakehead University in partnership with Shelter House. The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 25th, 2017 at The Outpost located at Lakehead University Thunder Bay Campus from 7pm to 10pm.

November 7, 2017 marks the first anniversary of Leonard Cohen's passing.

A public event organized to commemorate it will feature a free screening of a documentary, Leonard Cohen:  In His Own Words.  The film offers an unmediated insight into Leonard Cohen's thoughts on growing up, writing, love, monastic life, human condition, and 'the third act'---some of the key themes that run through Cohen's work and inform his philosophy of life (and death).

The screening of the film will be followed by a Q&A/discussion session.

The event will take place on November 7, 2017, at 7PM, in the Trinity United Hall, 310 Park Avenue (across from the Armoury).

This event is free and sponsored by Lakehead University's Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Departments of English, History, Political Science, and Sociology, the North of Superior Film Association, New Day Records and the Shaarey Shomayim Congregation.
