Tuesday, June 12 MARY FRANCES COADY Georges and Pauline Vanier: Portrait of a Couple Georges Vanier was the first francophone governor-general of Canada. At the time of his appointment in 1959, he was little known in English Canada, but in fact had been close to the centre of some of the most momentous events affecting Canada in the first half of the 20th century. He took an active part in both world wars and in the founding of the League of Nations, and he and his wife, Pauline, became the face of Canada in the rebuilding of postwar France. In this talk, Ms. Coady will speak about how she came to write this biography and about some of the discoveries she made in the course of her research. 10 June 2012 WHAT’S ON IN JUNE Literary Tables Tuesday, June 19 YvONNE SIMPSON Learning Through the Arts Learning Through the Arts brings artists into schools and gives teachers the creative tools to engage all students in math, science, language arts, social studies and more.
