Misinformation March is a month-long event dedicated to learning about the dangers of misinformation, and how to recognize misinformation, disinformation, fake news, deepfakes, and more. See more on our Misinformation and Disinformation Guide.
For the whole month of March, when you visit the Library, you’ll find activities, weekly displays, and events designed to help you learn and critically think about the ways in which misinformation and disinformation impact us on a daily basis – and how we can each recognize and help to combat them!
Visit our weekly Misinformation March display at both campus libraries to take one of our quizzes for a chance to win a $100 Douglas College Bookstore Gift Certificate, and check out our Misinformation March events below!
Go Analog Week!
Tuesdays, March 10 & March 17, 2-3pm in the New Westminster Library Event Space (Room N2100B, inside the Library)
Social media plays an outsized role in the spread of mis-and-disinformation and taking a break from screens, devices, and social media gives us a chance to be more mindful, and reflect on what content we are consuming when we use them.
The Library is hosting a Go Analog Week during Misinformation March. We’ll be pivoting to tactile, hands-on and in-person activities as a way to reduce screen-scrolling time, make connections, and create space to reflect on our digital lives.
Kickoff Event: Join us on Tuesday, March 10 from 2-3pm to share why you want to go analog and how you're feeling about your digital diet. We’ll have supplies to make an “analog adventure” punch-card so you can plan your Go Analog Week! Choose what you hope to do instead of screen time, have fun crafting your plan and enjoy some snacks!
Debrief Event: Come back a week later on Tuesday, March 17 from 2-3pm to share about how it went, what you did, how it made you feel, and whether your relationship with your devices have changed or not (and maybe you can show off the brand-new crocheted sweater vest you made that week!). Plus we’ll celebrate with cupcakes!
Disinformation Jeopardy!
Thursday, March 12, 2-3pm in the New Westminster Library Foyer
Join us to play a fun round of mis- and disinformation-themed Jeopardy trivia, win prizes, and learn about how to combat fake news and disinformation!
Water Jeopardy! Trivia, Myths & Misconceptions

Drop(let) on by between 11:00 and 1:00 to choose a category, show off your water-wisdom, and grab a treat. (For the Misinformation March fans, we've got a “Myths and Misconceptions” category!)
Screening: Timothy Caulfield Author Talk - The Certainty Illusion
Wednesday, March 18, 1-3pm in the New Westminster Library Event Space (Room N2100B, inside the Library)
In his bestselling book The Certainty Illusion, Timothy Caulfield lifts the curtain on the forces contributing to our information chaos and unpacks why it’s so difficult—sometimes even for experts—to escape the fake.
We’re screening a recorded conversation between Timothy in conversation with bestselling author and renowned science communicator Dr. Jen Gunter, for an important conversation on how to recognize and combat the bad actors that are trying to add confusion to our lives, often for nefarious ends.
Join us for a group viewing of this 90-minute talk, as well as a short moderated conversation afterwards.
Documentary Screening: Another Body
Tuesday, March 24, 1-3pm in the New Westminster Library Event Space (Room N2100B, inside the Library)
This documentary investigates the disturbing rise of deepfake technology and its impact on privacy, identity, and exploitation. The film follows a college student whose life is upended when she discovers her face has been used in explicit deepfake pornography videos circulating online. Through interviews with victims, legal experts, and technologists, the documentary explores the personal and legal challenges of confronting this emerging form of cybercrime. It delves into the inadequacies of current laws and the ethical dilemmas surrounding deepfake technology. By spotlighting real stories of those affected, the film raises urgent questions about consent, accountability, and the future of personal security in the digital age.
It probably goes without saying but this documentary includes adult themes, sexually suggestive content and some explicit language.
