Writing Workshops / “Scripts for the Life You Want to Live” 

This is a monthly program led by Gloria Nye, a local writer and winner of many awards for her literary works. The program is open to everyone. You do not need to be “a writer” to participate, just someone who is interested in writing, telling your story, or using writing as a tool for self reflection and personal development. Accomplished (or seasoned) writers are welcome to share and receive feedback on their writing, or use this time and quiet space to continue their latest project.

Seniors Memoir-Writing Project

Over the years, with funding from the New Horizons for Seniors Program, we have delivered several projects for seniors, including seniors’ social theatre. At present, we are focusing on helping seniors to use digital technology to write and illustrate their memoirs. We are supported by the Older Adult Centre in Rockwood and the local Rockwood Public Library, both of whom allow us to use their space and resources
