Calgary, AB: Book Launch Event, Signing and Public Talk

Event Description

Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party of Canada and Member of Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands, will be reading from and signing her latest book, Who We Are: Reflections on My Life and Canada. She will also be conducting a public talk.

This book is an argument for our future, the future of our children, and our grandchildren and generations beyond.  It is about how diminished democracy undermines our best hope to avoid the worsening of the climate crisis, accelerating to threaten human civilization itself.  It is a book about how we can make a difference.

In this marriage of memoir and manifesto, Elizabeth provides personal perspectives on her approach to politics, policy, and what it means to be Canadian.

Chris Turner, Canadian Journalist and Author, will be in attendance and will welcome Elizabeth May.
