A woman’s coming-of-age through a toxic relationship, isolation, and betrayal―set against the stark landscape of the far north. Millicent is a shy, 24-year-old reporter who moves to Whitehorse to work for a failing daily newspaper. With winter looming and the Yukon descending into darkness, Millicent begins a relationship with Pascal, an eccentric and charming middle-aged filmmaker who lives on a converted school bus in a Walmart parking lot. What begins as a romantic adventure soon turns toxic, and Millicent finds herself struggling not to lose herself and her voice. Events come to a head at Thaw di Gras, a celebration in faraway Dawson City marking the return of light to the north. It’s here, in a frontier mining town filled with drunken tourists, eclectic locals, and sparkling burlesque dancers, that Millicent must choose between staying with Pascal or finally standing up to her abuser. In the style of Ottessa Moshfegh’s honest exploration of dysfunctional relationships, and with the warmth and energy of Heather O’Neill, *Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit* illuminates what it’s like to be young, impulsive, and in love in one of the harshest environments in the world.

**Learn to see the system, not just the problem** ​Complex challenges rarely live in one place; they span teams, touchpoints, and invisible connections. ​This session is a hands-on introduction to systemic design: an approach that combines systems thinking and design to help us better understand and work within complexity. In this interactive, learning-by-doing session, you’ll explore how systems thinking and design come together to tackle complex organizational challenges. Instead of jumping straight to solutions, we’ll step back to see the bigger picture - uncovering relationships, identifying patterns, and finding leverage points where thoughtful design can create meaningful impact. ​You’ll work through a practical case, collaborate with others, and leave with new ways of thinking about problems that don’t have simple answers. **👉 To secure your spot, please register via [Luma](https://luma.com/lqfccdiw):** https://luma.com/lqfccdiw (*Meetup RSVPs don’t guarantee a seat*) ​**What you’ll learn** * ​Core principles of systemic design (interconnectedness, leverage points, human-centered thinking) * ​How to map systems and uncover underlying dynamics * ​How to identify patterns and opportunities for intervention * ​How to move from complexity → clarity → action ​**Who this is for** * ​Designers who are tired of surface-level problem solving * ​People who jump to solutions (you know who you are) * ​Anyone curious about how ideas *actually* come together * ​Professionals who want to nerd out, experiment, and learn by doing ​ ​**Format** ​This is a **hands-on workshop**, not a lecture. Come ready to participate, think visually, and collaborate with others. We’ll have pizza and pop — come hungry :) ​ **Agenda** ​5:30 – 6:00 pm \| Arrival \+ settle in ​6:00 – 7:30 pm \| Workshop session ​7:30 pm onwards \| Stay back and connect **Location** ​Career Centre Lounge (Room 287), Rotman School of Management ​105 St. George Street, Toronto ​**In collaboration with Rotman’s Business Design Initiative (BDI)** ​Led by [Emma Aiken-Klar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-jo-aiken-klar-phd/?utm_source=luma), with Service Design Drinks Toronto ([Shivika Sood](https://www.linkedin.com/in/shivika-sood/?utm_source=luma)), this session explores systemic design in a hands-on, practical way. [Service Design Drinks Toronto ](https://linkedin.com/company/sddtoronto?utm_source=luma)is a community of practice - a space to learn, experiment, and connect through service design in an open, accessible way.
