Caledon Public Library hosting two powerful author talks this fall




Order of Canada member Ted Barris and “Canada's Indiana Jones” Adam Shoalts coming to Caledon

Two exciting author talks are being held in Caledon this fall. 

At 7 p.m. on November 21, the Caledon Public Library (CPL) will host writer, journalist, broadcaster and Order of Canada member Ted Barris for a talk at the Bolton branch. 

Barris will speak about his book, Battle of Britain: Canadian Airmen in Their Finest Hour. In his book, Barris has gathered true stories of Canadian airmen, ground crew, engineers, aeronautical designers, medical officers and civilians who helped dispel Nazi invasion. 

Limited seating is available for this author's talk, and interested parties must register for it online at caledon.library.on.ca.

The next author's talk the CPL is hosting is at 6:30 p.m. on December 5 at the Caledon East branch. 

Canadian Geographic explorer Adam Shoalts, dubbed “Canada's Indiana Jones” by the Toronto Star, will be taking guests on a remarkable visual journey with a presentation on his book, Where the Falcon Flies. 

The book recounts Shoalts' 3,400-kilometre journey by canoe from his home near Lake Erie to the Arctic following the migrating peregrine falcon.

Shoalts gave a sold-out presentation at Theatre Orangeville last year, and this inspired the CPL to bring him for a talk. 

Registration for this author's talk is also required and can be done so at caledon.library.on.ca.
