Audience Feedback on David Suzuki Event at Knox United

David Suzuki, Special Wordfest Event: What the audience had to say

Earlier in June 2015, Wordfest welcomed David Suzuki to the Knox United Church for readings from his latest book Letters to my Grandchildren. We asked the audience how they felt about the event. Here’s what they had to say about the discussion that evening.

[David Suzuki] is always extremely accommodating with respect to signing books and answering questions.

Loved the talk – the sincerity. Inspired. Real.

[I was] impressed with the Wordfest volunteers and their courteous and helpful handling of both the seating and the book signing lineups.
