Join us on the 4th Thursday of each month from 5-6pm for the IWFC Calgary Chapter Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Book Club.

The next selection for IWFC Calgary's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Book Club will be This Strange Visible Air by Sharon Butala and will be hosted by Jennifer Hatfield.

"In this incisive collection, Sharon Butala reflects on the ways her life has changed as she's grown old. She knows that society fails the elderly massively, and so she tackles ageism and loneliness, friendship and companionship. She writes with pointed wit and acerbic humour about dinner parties and health challenges and forgetfulness and complicated family relationships and the pandemic—and lettuce. And she tells her story with the tremendous skill and beauty of a writer who has masterfully honed her craft over the course of her storied four-decade career."
