DUCKS: Two Years in the Oilsands

The PEI Writers Guild and the Advisory Council on the Status of Women present a conversation delving into themes of gender-based violence, migratory labour, and the environment in Kate Beaton's stunning graphic novel. A panel of women thinkers and writers will offer their perspectives on DUCKS: Two Years in the Oilsands, winner of Canada Reads 2023. 

The novel has been described by Beaton's publisher, Drawn & Quarterly as "...an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people."

The panel will be held March 20, from 2:00-4:00 at The Guild on Queen Street.
