Examining the Mystery of Tom Thomson Literary Lecture with Roy MacGregor
August 5 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Free
Award-winning Canadian journalist, author, and Muskoka native Roy MacGregor shares stories from his newest book, best-selling “Paper Trails,” an autobiography rich with humour and depth. Roy’s anecdotes gathered over a lifetime travelling the world as a professional journalist, are delivered with delightfully clever and self-effacing wit.
MacGregor will also discuss his book “Northern Light,” which explores the mystery of Tom Thomson and the woman who loved him.
Leah Leslie, local musician and songwriter, will provide musical interludes throughout the presentation, including “Winnie’s Song,” an original composition inspired by MacGregor’s work.
