Opening Session

Don’t miss this fascinating conversation between France Daigle, author and winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award, and Lucie Hotte, Director of the Centre de recherche en civilisation canadienne-française (CRCCF). They will discuss the role archives and libraries play in this internationally renowned Acadian author’s creative writing. At various points in the discussion, excerpts from her works will be read aloud by LAC employees.

“From 1953 to Pour sûr, the archives, volumes and libraries as sources of inspiration”
