Yet many face dangerous working conditions, barriers to healthcare, precarious immigration status, and systemic inequities that remain largely invisible to the public.Through the stories of migrant farm workers and the policies that shape their lives, this lecture explores how Canada's temporary foreign worker programs impact health, why these inequities persist, and what they reveal about the true cost of our food system. You'll leave with a new perspective on the people who make our meals possible and an understanding of why, after this talk, an apple may truly never taste the same.Sebastian Lopez Steven (he/him/el) is a first-year resident doctor in the University of Ottawa’s psychiatry program, having completed medical school at UBC and a prior Master of Science in health policy at Carleton University. He has a special interest in migrant farm worker health after working as the Coordinator of the Bici Libre Program at the UBC Bike Kitchen, refurbishing and donating bicycles with the aim to empower workers. Outside of these spaces, you can usually find him on a field hockey pitch consistently choosing the wrong pass to make in the moment. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/ottawa/apples-will-never-taste-the-same-canadas-migrant-farmworkers/100001994882261545 - **Event Categories**: sports, health-wellness, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: Avant-Garde Bar & Gift Shop - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.74, max: 27.37, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Ottawa - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Avant-Garde Bar & Gift Shop - **lat**: 45.4266473 - **long**: -75.68891289999999 - **full address**: Avant-Garde Bar & Gift Shop, 135 Besserer Street, Ottawa, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Apples Will Never Taste the Same: Canada's Migrant Farmworkers - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/749bcb38b1944c91f751ef615929daf0d748c8fa8b812f15157ee363528ee167-rimg-w1200-h600-dcebe1d7-gmir.jpg?v=1784968450 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Apples Will Never Taste the Same: Canada's Migrant Farmworkers being held? - **A:** Apples Will Never Taste the Same: Canada's Migrant Farmworkers takes place on Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Avant-Garde Bar & Gift Shop, 135 Besserer Street, Ottawa, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Apples Will Never Taste the Same: Canada's Migrant Farmworkers? - **A:** Apples Will Never Taste the Same: Canada's Migrant Farmworkers is organized by TipsyScholars. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
