A week to go!

Dear Festival Friends - Things are really starting to get busy here at Festival Central!

Two more great events coming up on Wednesday night at Saint Brigid's Centre for the Arts and Humanities (314 Saint Patrick at Cumberland):

1. Wednesday, October 14 @ 6:30 PM
THE CASE FOR GOD with KAREN ARMSTRONG
Hosted by Jim Creskey

2. Wednesday, October 14 @ 8:30 PM
NOW OR NEVER with TIM FLANNERY
Hosted by Jay Ingram

Then on Tuesday, October 20th at 8:00 PM, it's the OTTAWA BOOK AWARDS AND LAMPMAN-SCOTT PRIZE FOR POETRY at Library and Archives Canada (395 Wellington Street). This is a free event and promises to be a wonderful evening.

After that, we're back over to Saint Brigid's for the Festival itself which runs from October 21 to the 27th. If you have yet to check out the schedule, it's all online here. Some amazing talent will be participating so we hope to see you all week long!!

Tickets are available by phone at 613.562.1243, on our website or in person from Nicholas Hoare, Collected Works and Octopus Books.

Two quick notes:

1) Apostolos Doxiadis has had to cancel his appearance, so his event with Christain Bök on October 24th has been cancelled.

2) The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has been forced to cancel the book reading event with the authors of The Occupied Garden, due to the ongoing strike at the Canadian War Museum.

Hope to see you tomorrow night at Saint Brigid's!

All the best,
Sean
