On Mondays 1p.m.-3p.m.
May 5, 12 & 26 and June 2, 9 & 16
One generation into the twenty-first century, we’re going to revisit a period 50-70 years ago. Our guides, “ancestral voices,” are writers, journalists, academics — public intellectuals, in short— who had things to say about Canada and Canadians, and said them. They will include Pierre Berton, Northrop Frye, George Grant, Bruce Hutchison, Gabrielle Roy, and perhaps one other. Come and join the conversation!
Eileen Conway, a retired Anglican clergywoman, taught English at the University of Alberta for almost twenty years, chiefly to freshmen.
Fee: $75 for members & $95 for non-members

In partnership with ORT Edmonton Jews of Venezuela
2025-05-22 13:00 - 15:00 | The Centre, 10052-117 St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 1X2, Canada
Venezuela was one of the few countries that welcomed Jewish migrants from Europe in the 1940s, but the history of Jews in Venezuela goes further back.
Magdalena and Vic have lived in several countries: Uruguay, Venezuela, Mexico and now they are newcomers in Canada. They are going to tell us the story of the Jews in Venezuela.
They will also tell us the story of their family as a case of the many Jewish migrants.
From a Venezuelan newspaper during 1940 about the Jewish migrants:
“The impression they give, when you see them for the first time, is extremely pleasant. Far from the image of the Jews as a crooked aspect and a petty nature, those in front of us point out for their joviality, their frank manners and their concepts of generosity… In short, they seem to us people of courageous spirit, of an intrinsic enthusiasm that does not decay into misfortune or exalt itself on the threshold of fortune.”
