    When you pick up a copy of September's title, you will receive a Traveler's Guide to keep with you for the year, in which you may keep notes as you read, draw something from the book that has inspired you, or bring up points you'd like to discuss during the meet-ups.

    At every meeting you attend, you will get your "passport" stamped. We hope to see you well-traveled by summer 2024!

    Drawing on his pioneering efforts to fact-check President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden, and other US politicians, Daniel Dale will discuss why facts still matter in this age of misinformation.

    Dale got his career, watching and reading transcripts of nearly every interview or speech President Trump gives, and fact-checking him- who knew it could be a full-time job. At last count, Dale had catalogued more than 9,000 lies or false claims. He has it down to a science! And while the Trump era has ended, Dale's zeal for checking the facts has not.

    Dale knows the importance of  combating misinformation, truth and lies in politics and the importance to fact checking.

    Daniel Dale is a reporter in CNN’s Washington Bureau, where he fact-checks political claims. Prior to joining CNN in 2019, Dale spent over a decade at the Toronto Star reporter and bureau chief at Toronto City Hall from 2010 through 2014, Dale broke several stories about Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. As Washington Bureau Chief, he covered trade negotiations, the 2016 and 2018 campaigns, and breaking news and social issues around the United States, including mass shootings in Charleston and Dallas, racial segregation in Milwaukee and the opioid epidemic in Massachusetts.

    A native of Thornhill, Ontario, Dale holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from York University’s Schulich School of Business.

    Program is in person, but the event will also be streamed live on OPL's YouTube page

    Désolé, cet événement et sa liste d'attente sont complets.

    Do you love to write? Is writing the air you breathe, or is there ink in your veins?

    The Stittsville Creative Writing Group is a collection of people who love to write.

    We meet weekly to read from text we have written on our own time during the previous week, and engage in other writing activities.

    This is not a class on writing, or a workshop for manuscripts. Instead, we are people who love to write and share our works. 

    There are those who mostly listen rather than write, those who write prolifically but only share with the group, and a broad spectrum in between.

    If your interest is in the love of writing, this group may be for you.

    Cross-stitch is most versatile of embroidery stitches. The two actions which form each stitch create a perfect and pleasing symmetry. It can be repeated to build up dense shapes or can be applied to form fine curved and twining lines or delicate patterns.

    Join us for the evening to master only one stitch, with minimum materials to become a proficient stitcher.
