Ed Talk: The Distance with Judy Pollard

Join us for an evening of historical storytelling as local author Judy Pollard reads from her book The Distance — a powerful true tale of immigration, resilience, and justice in early 1900s British Columbia.

Set against the rugged backdrop of southern BC, The Distance follows two young Swiss men lured to Canada by promises of fruit-filled valleys and prosperity. As they attempt to build a life in an unfamiliar and unforgiving land, dreams give way to hardship, tensions flare, and a tragic event leads to a murder trial that forever changes their families’ futures.

Tea and coffee will be provided. Doors open at 6:30pm.
