The Island Talks speaker series launched in the Summer of 2022 with six local author readings, had amazing turnouts on the Hotel patio, and great conversations followed. To keep the magic going, we’ve been hosting Talks featuring community conversations on social and environmental issues throughout the Winter and Spring, as well as the Summer literary talks.

The Island Talks gratefully acknowledges the support from The Writers’ Union of Canada, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Wolfe Island Commons, and the Hotel Wolfe Island.
