Break out your chunk, geometric, statement piece jewelry and celebrate aging adventurously. Sometimes it’s not the destination, it’s the journey: For Sharon Butala (How to Breathe Water) it was a road trip through the prairies that prompted reflection and a revisiting of her personal history. For Merilyn Simonds (Walking With Beth) three years of weekly walks and intimate exchanges with an older friend had her contemplating the past—and the future.

This event is organized in collaboration with the Canada Council for the Arts to celebrate the finalists and winners of the Governor General’s Literary Awards.
