Do you love literature, poetry, reading, writing, and all things in between? Well come out and check out Wordfest!
Calgary’s most “guilt-free” festival is back for its 21st year, and it’s starting tomorrow (Oct 7), and going until October 16!
So what is Wordfest?
There’s a large variety of different events for all different interests. Some featured events include ： White Noise Talks : Empowered by the Pen ; The Frontline of Mental Health Treatment ; and Literary Death Match

And if you have any younger siblings that you want to get involved, or you just feel young at heart, fear not! There are lots of youth events that you can check out too! Remember Kenneth Oppel (who wrote Silverwing, Sunwing, and all the wings)? He’s doing a presentation on Oct 12 at the John Dutton theatre (check it out here). Also (super excited about this one!), there are French events too; like Camille Bouchard & Andrée Poulin’s presentation on perseverance during tough times.
