SS Forum Presents Adrienne Clarkson, Former Governor General of Canada

05/05/2016 7:30 pm

The Salt Spring Forum is honoured to present the Rt. Hon. Adrienne Clarkson, the former Governor General of Canada (1999-2005), for a special discussion inspired by her CBC Massey Lectures, Belonging: The Paradox of Citizenship.

Adrienne Clarkson came to Canada from Hong Kong as a refugee in 1942 and made the astonishing journey from penniless immigrant to accomplished broadcaster and distinguished public servant in a multi-faceted lifetime. She is the bestselling author of the 2014 CBC Massey Lectures Belonging: The Paradox of Citizenship as well as several other books. In 2005, she co-founded the Institute for Canadian Citizenship with her husband John Ralston Saul to help new citizens integrate into Canadian life.

Please note this event takes place at G.I.S.S. Tickets are on sale through the ArtSpring Box Office at 250.537.2102 and online at www.tickets.artspring.ca or at Salt Spring Books.
