Our gathering on Sunday December 17 will be at 10:30am in our usual 2nd floor room in the Koffler House, 569 Spadina Ave.
We are honoured to welcome Eusebio Garcia, the refugee settlement worker for the Toronto Quaker Meeting to speak with us this week.
Eusebio works on the front lines, assisting refugees in many stages of the process of settling in Canada. He will speak to Oasis about the nature of this process, and some of the problems refugees face in Canada, sharing a first-hand perspective and personal experiences.
And on the Oasis Stage!
Lady Son (aka Yeti Ajasin) has been described as one of the most arresting voices on the Canadian music scene, often drawing comparisons to music legend Celia Cruz. Lady Son redefines Afro-Latin grooves for the 21st century. Though Canadian-born of Italian-Nigerian-Jewish heritage, Lady Son’s deep love and appreciation for Latin rhythms has its roots in Cuba. Her debut CD, Semillas, explored her dual passion for Nuyorican-style salsa and Guajiro culture and earned her a New Music Award for Best World Album.

And Thursday December 21st at 7pm please join us at Side Bar, 147 Danforth Ave., for a Winter Solstice Party! (Ask the host or hostess for Oasis Toronto.)
Brighten up this festive season with a secular solstice celebration of the longest night of the year! This will be a casual evening of dining, chatting, games and give aways. Also a great opportunity to check out the Danforth’s newest food/drink offering (So new their website isn’t up yet. The menu will be posted in the Meetup page’s comments section).
The pub is located within easy walking distance of Broadview subway station and we encourage you to take transit or uber/taxi. The Danforth Music Hall next door is having a concert that night so immediately adjacent parking will be limited.
