I don’t have an exact date, but I believe that the exhibit outlined below will open this February at the Black Loyalist Heritage Centre in Shelburne, NS. I’ll post details when I have them.

There was a multi-faceted team involved in the project, with my role being that of the writer.

The final title of the exhibit differs from that on the graphic below.

CBC Gem has recently uploaded several seasons of its TV interview show called “At the Table.”

I was the guest for one of those sessions, interviewed by Amy Smith. My segment is Season 3, Episode 8. The conversation is about 22 minutes long and it is all about Louisbourg. I was invited on the show because I had recently been made a chevalier of France’s Ordre des Palmes académiques. I am wearing the ribbon of that honour during the interview.

I thoroughly enjoyed speaking about The Lincolns — the legendary 1960s Nova Scotia band — at the Colchester Historeum in Truro, NS. That was the band’s home town. It was especially meaningful to have Rod Norrie in attendance. Rod was the original Lincolns drummer.

I am grateful to the Canada Council for the Arts, through the Writers’ Union of Canada, for supporting the presentation.

I will be at the Colchester Historeum in Truro, NS, at 12 noon on September 11 to give an illustrated talk.

Here is a link to a short video put together by Shannon Nickerson of the NS Acadian newspaper, Le Courrier de la Nouvelle-Ecosse. I am the third interview. The literary event was August 11. On August 13 I will be giving a different presentation in Yarmouth at 12:30 pm at the Lions Club. It’s all part of the Congrès mondial des Acadiens.
