SUMMARY:Ed Talk: The Distance with Judy Pollard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of historical storytelling as local author Judy Pollard reads from her book The Distance — a powerful true tale of immigration\, resilience\, and justice in early 1900s British Columbia. \nSet against the rugged backdrop of southern BC\, The Distance follows two young Swiss men lured to Canada by promises of fruit-filled valleys and prosperity. As they attempt to build a life in an unfamiliar and unforgiving land\, dreams give way to hardship\, tensions flare\, and a tragic event leads to a murder trial that forever changes their families’ futures. \nTea and coffee will be provided. Doors open at 6:30pm. \nRegistration is FREE!REGISTER HERE \nSpeaker Bio: \nJudy Pollard has lived in the Kootenay region since 1961 and has worked as a teacher\, early childhood educator\, college instructor\, and child care manager. Since retiring\, she has turned her attention to creative writing\, drawing on personal and historical stories rooted in place and community. The Distance is inspired by true events from the early 20th century and reflects Judy’s deep interest in women’s rights\, legal history\, and the enduring impact of the past on present-day lives.
