An Evening of Authors & Animals
A spoken word and book release event

THURSDAY DECEMBER 2, 2010, 7 PM

John Sorenson
It is often suggested that “the greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” John Sorenson reviews Canada’s record on the treatment of animals and examines the extent of our moral progress.

Andrew Westoll
"Andrew Westoll's travel memoir, The Riverbones, is set deep inside the remote jungles of Suriname, where he used to work as a monkey researcher. Join Andrew as he describes his journey into the far south of the country, on a quixotic quest to find the rare blue frog called okopipi."

Rob Laidlaw
In On Parade, The Hidden World of Animals in Entertainment Rob Laidlaw explores the fascinating, often surprising, world of performing animals and shows how our everyday choices can impact the lives of animals.
