**Meet new people over great food in a relaxed, social setting.** This is a small-group social dining experience for people who enjoy good food, good conversation, and expanding their circle in a natural way. Everyone attending is there to meet others — no pressure, no awkward networking. **What to expect** * A small group (usually 4–8 people) * A friendly, low-pressure atmosphere * Easy, natural conversation **How it works** We coordinate the group and reserve the table once attendees confirm. The venue and details are shared with the group beforehand. Just show up, order what you like, and enjoy the experience. Each guest covers their own food and drinks. To keep groups balanced and confirmed, seat confirmations happen through #dine: https://www.hashtagdine.com/

Our families, or lack thereof, are one of the first things we become aware of. For better or worse, as children, most of us rely on family to meet our needs and help us learn how to exist in the world. Their presence or absence shapes our behaviours and affects how others treat us. We may be judged by what our parents do for work, how our children behave, whether we have strong or weak family values and ties, or our ability to fulfill familial obligations. ‘Family’ shapes how we come to learn about the world, how we relate to one another and to ourselves, and the goals we set. Through our lived experience, the stories we’re told, and the cultural values many of us have inherited, ‘family’ has become a relational category whose existence we assume is natural; that is, family units have always existed and always will. But could a world without families exist? Statistically, families are the epicentre for cases of violence and abuse, and perpetuating economic inequality. Given this, would we be *better off* in a world without family as we know it? Join co-moderators Fallon Taylor-Kanary and Sophia Whicher at our next Curiosity Café, where we’ll explore the following questions: * Who do you consider to be family? Why? * How do you feel when you think about family? * What function does family play in our lives? * Why are families sites of so much violence? * How is contemporary infrastructure (architecture, policies, institutions, etc) designed around families? * How would our relations be different if our material and economic conditions weren’t shaped or mediated by the family? * Would a world without families *necessarily* be a world with less love and care? **Space is limited!** **Please obtain a “Pay-What-You-Can” ticket from Curiosity Café at [this link (click here)](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/curiosity-cafe-ethics-of-the-family-tickets-1987289282741) to attend this event. You need a ticket to be admitted.** See the above link for more info about tickets and other options including a limited number of free tickets. Come and hang out with us, grab food, and read through our handout from 6-6:30pm. Our structured discussion will run from 6:30-8:30pm with a 10 minute break in the middle. Hope to see you there! ***__________________________________________________________________*** This event is brought to you by [Being and Becoming](https://beingnbecoming.org/), a Toronto based non-profit. We aim to create community around exploring everyday concepts and experiences so that we may live more intentional, thoughtful, and meaningful lives. We use philosophy as a tool with which we can come to a richer understanding of the world around us. By offering activities, spaces, and other opportunities for conversation and co-exploration, we hope to enable the meeting and fusion of individuals and their ideas. Everyone is welcome, regardless of background: indeed, we believe the journey is best undertaken alongside explorers from a variety of disciplines, cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. Find out more about Being and Becoming [here](https://beingnbecoming.org/). About the Curiosity Café Series: For those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to join us at our Curiosity Cafés and are wondering what they’re all about: every two weeks, we invite members of our community to come out to the Madison Avenue Pub to engage in a collaborative exploration of our chosen topic. Through these events, we aim to build our community of people who like to think deeply about life’s big questions, and provide each other with some philosophical tools to dig deeper into whatever it is we are most curious about.

Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agents, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers.

Only 20 open spots are available for this private gathering.\*\* Join IFL Toronto on March 24th, as we bring together 35 of Canada's next generation of leaders for an intimate discussion on securing the next era of domestic and global defence. **Speaker Bio:** **James Castle** is a global authority in advanced security systems, serving as Founder and Global Chairperson of Terranova Aerospace and Defense Group and Global Chairperson of the Cyber Security Global Alliance. His work focuses on securing the convergence of artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and autonomous and uncrewed systems across defense, critical infrastructure, and civil applications. Under Castle’s leadership, Terranova operates internationally at the intersection of AI assurance, quantum resilient security architectures, and drone and robotics systems, supporting governments, industry, and academic partners on safeguarding next-generation technologies before they are widely deployed. His teams specialize in building security by design frameworks that anticipate system misuse rather than reacting to failure. Castle also leads global initiatives on AI trust governance, quantum safe communications, and responsible autonomy, shaping workforce development and cross-border standards through the CSGA Cyber AI Research Institute and the Center for the Safety of Artificial Intelligence. His work emphasizes human-centric security, ethical deployment, and operational resilience in environments where AI decision making, quantum systems, and autonomous platforms increasingly intersect. A frequent advisor and speaker, James Castle is recognized for translating complex emerging technologies into actionable security strategies that protect societies while enabling innovation at scale. **Topics of Discussion:** *AI, quantum computing, and autonomous systems in a changing security landscape.* This intimate dinner offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with peers and thought leaders, exchange bold ideas, and gain insights to lead with greater impact in times of transformation. **Event Details:** **Date:** Tuesday, April 21st, 2026 **Time:** 6:30 PM – Doors open for Networking \| 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \- Event **Venue:** JOEY Eaton Centre Event Space, 1 Dundas St. W, Toronto, ON **Dress Code:** Business Casual **Audience:** 30 emerging leaders aged 25–39 **Guest Policy:** This is a private event, but we welcome referrals of like-minded young leaders who embody the spirit of IFL. **How to buy your ticket?** RSVP to purchase directly on this page. *\*By purchasing a ticket, attendees agree to be photographed at the event, and photographs that may be posted on IFL Toronto social media channels*
