Happening tonight!

📬 Step back into a turning point in our province’s history.

Join us on March 25 at 7 pm for Dear Mr. Smallwood – Contributors Panel with editor Vicki Hallett, alongside contributors Jennifer Morgan and Andrea Procter.

Between 1948 and 1950, everyday Newfoundlanders and Labradorians wrote hundreds of letters to Joseph R. Smallwood, letters filled with hope, frustration, uncertainty, and conviction.

Dear Mr. Smallwood, edited by Vicki Hallett and Sonja Boon, gathers more than 200 of these voices, offering a rare and intimate window into the personal and political landscape surrounding Confederation.

This interactive discussion invites you to explore those letters, reflect on the turbulence of the era, and connect with the lived experiences that shaped Canada’s youngest province.

🎟 Tickets: $12 + HST
🆓 Free for Rooms Members
