We have a dynamic panel:
Tom Wilson tehohåhake (two roads) is a Canadian musician, songwriter, famed storyteller and visual artist. His recent published memoir, Beautiful Scars, has become a national bestseller. In his memoir, Wilson reveals the impact of discovering his indigenous heritage. Musically, Wilson is a Juno Award winner and known for his work with Blackie & The Rodeo Kings and Lee Harvey Osmond.
Since the emergence of his first collection in 1982, John Terpstra has gained recognition as a poet and author of great precision, compassion and attentiveness. With a fascination for geology, family, heritage, community and faith, he has trained his eye variously on his Hamilton neighbourhood, his Dutch background, the joys and peculiarities of marriage and parenting, as well as on issues of environmental degradation, local economy, security, society and questions of hope.
Jessie Golem is an entrepreneur, professional writer, photographer, pianist, and activist. In 2018 Jessie used her skills in photography to produce a photo series called Humans of Basic Income that amplifies the stories of the recipients of the prematurely cancelled Basic Income Pilot Project in Ontario.

Come hear and see how their art was developed and how they have used their art to engage others. Q&A and refreshments will follow the panel discussion.
