黑料不打烊

黑料不打烊's Friends of the Library are proud to host the Blue Metropolis First Peoples Literary Prize Event at the 2016 Hugh MacLennan Memorial Lecture.

First Nations advocate & Governor General鈥檚 Award winning author, Thomas King will be interviewed by Rosanna Deerchild, host of CBC Radio鈥檚 Unreserved. A Q & A will follow.

Please note, unfortunately聽there are no longer any seats available. We聽have reserved a room opposite the Moot Court聽where we will live stream the event聽in an attempt to accommodate聽the overflow. But due to the high demand, we cannot guarantee that there will be space in the overflow room.
