Alliance Francaise (concert): Beltuner (Jazz Fusion/Tango sounds!) $18
**Beltuner is a Paris-based quartet** known for their electrifying live performances and fearless blend of musical styles. Since bursting onto the French jazz scene in the early 2000s, they have built a devoted following with their infectious energy and genre-defying sound.
The group features Johann Riche on accordion and vocals, Pascal Muller on guitar, Bertrand Allaume on bass, and Mathieu Stora on percussion. Together, they create a bold and joyful fusion that draws from swing, manouche, musette (small bagpipe), tango, pop, and contemporary jazz.

Practical Philosophy Meetup - Port Credit 🇨🇦
**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?**
Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎
Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic.
The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://tally.so/r/81LP4A), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going.
When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture.
**General Meeting Agenda**
Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline:
* 19:00-19:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start.
* 19:15-19:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines.
* 19:25-20:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them.
* 20:45-21:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo.
* 21:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other.
**🧧PRICING?**
Practical Philosophy is operated entirely on voluntary donations! If we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Donations are 100% voluntary, but they help us to bring the gift of deep conversation to people around the world. If you'd like to support, you can [donate here](https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/donate-to-practical-philosophy)!
(Practical Philosophy is a registered Canadian charity)
**💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY**
**🗣** “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam
🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel
**🤓 FAQ**
* **Do I need to study or read anything to attend?**
No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what you think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it.
* **Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?**
The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school.
* **Is it mostly men that attend?**
Surprisingly, no! Although often, philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms.
* **Can I come alone?**
Of course you can, we encourage it :)
* **Can I be late?**
Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation.
* **Where do you meet?**
The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://tally.so/r/81LP4A) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/).
🤝**POLICY**
To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment.
**PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY CLUB - Philosophy, everywhere. ✨**
We started in Practical Philosophy back in 2021 and there are now 50+ chapters in over 25 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️

TFS Presents The Lost World (1925) and King Kong (1933)
Join us for our April programme at the beautiful Paradise Theatre in Toronto. Our fabulous pre-show begins at 12:30 pm and the programme begins at 1 pm.
The Toronto Film Society presents a double feature celebrating the birth of cinematic spectacle, pairing two landmark adventures that defined the movie monster. In The Lost World (1925), Arthur Conan Doyle’s dinosaurs come thrillingly to life through the pioneering stop-motion of Willis O’Brien, launching a new era of screen fantasy. Eight years later, King Kong (1933) built on that breakthrough with one of the most famous creations in film history, blending awe, romance, and tragedy into a story that still towers over the genre. Together, these two films trace the origins of movie magic - and the enduring power of imagination.

🏙️🍔 LIBERTY VILLAGE, STACKT MARKET & THE WELL WALK 🍔🏙️
🏙️🍔 LIBERTY VILLAGE, STACKT MARKET & THE WELL WALK 🍔🏙️
Old Industry, New Energy & A Food Hall Finish
Some parts of Toronto have completely reinvented themselves — and walking through them feels like watching the city evolve in real time.
This is a brand new walk — the first time we’re doing it — and it’s all about exploring three very different (and very cool) pockets of the west end.
We’ll start in Liberty Village, once an industrial zone filled with factories and rail lines, now transformed into a buzzing neighbourhood of condos, creative spaces, and local energy. You can still feel the history in the brick buildings — it’s just been given a whole new life.
From there, we’ll head to Stackt Market, a unique outdoor market built from shipping containers, full of pop-up shops, art, and ever-changing vendors.
We’ll finish at The Well, one of Toronto’s newest and most talked-about developments, where we’ll settle into the food hall for a relaxed lunch together.
This is not a formal tour.
It’s a social walk — a mix of city exploration, light storytelling, and discovering places together.
👉 **Don’t forget to join our WhatsApp group** – [CLICK HERE!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd)
***
🚶♂️ What We’ll Do
We’ll meet at Wendy’s at King & Dufferin and begin our walk into Liberty Village, wandering through its streets and getting a feel for the neighbourhood.
From there, we’ll make our way over to Stackt Market to explore, browse, and take it all in.
Afterward, we’ll continue toward The Well, where we’ll wrap up the walk and grab lunch in the food hall. There are lots of options, so everyone can find something they like.
You’re welcome to stay and eat or head out whenever you like.
***
🌦️ Weather & Expectations
This walk will happen in typical spring weather — sun, wind, or light rain.
As long as it’s not extreme conditions, we’ll be going ahead.
Dress in layers and come prepared — this is April in Toronto.
Comfortable shoes are recommended.
Also — since this is our first time doing this route, we’ll be exploring it together a bit. That’s part of the fun.
And as always — this is NOT a guided or historical tour. It’s about being social and enjoying the experience.

NOVA Horror Club Screening and Discussion: Shin Godzilla (2016)
*"Godzilla. Truly a god incarnate."*
It begins with a series of strange incidents in Tokyo Bay: an eruption of steam, a strange red fluid, an underground tunnel collapsing and forcing drivers to evacuate. Officials dismiss it as a minor natural event — a curiosity, not a crisis.
But something far more dangerous is stirring beneath the surface. And it’s alive.
Co-directed by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi, *Shin Godzilla* reimagines the iconic monster as both a physical catastrophe and a systemic failure. Blending kaiju spectacle with rapid-fire political process, the film transforms disaster into a chain of meetings, delays, and escalating consequences — where the real horror lies in how unprepared systems respond to the unprecedented.
**NOTE: There is a "no late arrivals" policy. RSVP only if you intend to arrive within 20 minutes of the event start time.**
