Book Club - 2021

Join us for October's book club via Zoom on Wednesday, October 6th at 6:30 pm. 

Book for October: The Yield by Tara June Winch

Profoundly moving and exquisitely written, Tara June Winch’s The Yield is the story of a people and a culture dispossessed. But it is as much a celebration of what was and what endures, and a powerful reclaiming of Indigenous language, storytelling and identity.
