I had a fun last day of school visits in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia in mid-June with three large groups of everything from primary to grade 6!
It’s been a great spring of visits through the Writers’ Fed of Nova Scotia all over the province, and hopefully funding will come through to keep the program going next year after the provincial budget cuts.
If you’d like to hold dates for 2026-2027 for English or French-language sessions, please reach out! I can do full-day and half-day depending on the proximity to Halifax, and also offer virtual visits. Please note I generally black out mid-December through the end of February for in-person visits because the weather and driving is so uncertain here in NS.
If you’re outside of the Maritimes, please know I travel quite often to other parts of North America. And I am always open for a chat about trying to schedule a visit anywhere in the world, funding-allowing!
