Ottawa Storytellers

Come celebrate the life of Jan Andrews and the publication of her novel To See the Stars. 

Hosted by Toronto Storytelling Festival, A Different Booklist and CANSCAIP. 

March 20th, 2019 from 5 to 7pm at A Different Booklist Cultural Centre, 779 Bathurst Street, Toronto.

The storytelling community lost a hugely influential member on January 2, 2019. Carol McGirr was a StorySave teller, and founder of the long-lived Fireside Epic series. Carol’s impact on Canadian storytelling was profound. She believed “storytellers come and go. It is the story that lives happily ever after.” Our condolences to Carol's friends and family.

Storytellers are invited to submit applications for the 16th Annual St John’s Storytelling Festival taking place St John’s, NL, from September 22 – 29, 2019, and for our festival in 2020.  We are also considering tellers for various aspects of our year-round programming.

Mark your calendars for March 10th in Toronto to join in on a fantastic workshop with Teenaz Javat and Yuli Hu of The Shoe Project. The Metastory of the Shoe explores the journeys of newcomers to Canada and how storytelling can be used to improve written and spoken English.

Ticket information coming soon!

It is with much sadness that SC-CC reports the passing of Lesley Parlane on Saturday, November 24 2018, from cancer. Lesley was one of the founding members of the Indigenous Advisory Council of SC-CC and an artist living in Ottawa. Our deepest condolences go out to her family and friends.

The St. John’s Storytelling Festival has just wrapped another year – and boy have we outdone ourselves! The mix of local and visiting tellers was so varied and so dynamic, bringing together people from all walks of life to celebrate the art of story.
