The Owen Sound Memoir Series has announced its first monthly event weekend at the Owen Sound public library featuring Ali Hassan, the multi-talented stand-up comic, actor, CBC Radio & Television host, and memoir author. Ali Hassan is a familiar voice on CBC Radio as the host of ‘Laugh Out Loud’ and ‘Canada Reads’. Both events will be held at the Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library, 824 1st Ave W. in Owen Sound. The mission of the Owen Sound Memoir Series is to celebrate the lived experience of diverse Canadians, curate important conversations, and teach memoir-writing skills to local writers. Each month, a nationally-recognized Canadian author will come to the Owen Sound library to read from their recently published memoir and lead a memoir-writing workshop.
