Positive change can come by the way of radical ideas, but we must be willing to reconstruct the environment in which these ideas exist. More opportunities can be created when we all collectively start to think differently.

To speak to this month’s global theme radical we’re honoured to welcome Waubgeshig Rice to the CreativeMornings Ottawa stage. Pulling a few key themes from his most recent novel, Moon of the Crusted Snow, Waubgeshig will encourage you to quiet your mind and think about a few areas you’re willing to shake things up. Together, let’s create a more radically profound, kind, and welcoming world.

Waubgeshig is an author and journalist from Wasauksing First Nation on Georgian Bay. He has written three fiction titles, and his short stories and essays have been published in numerous anthologies. Moon of the Crusted Snow was published in 2018 and became a national bestseller. He graduated from Ryerson University’s journalism program in 2002, and spent most of his journalism career with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a video journalist, web writer, producer, and radio host. He left CBC in 2020 to focus on his literary career. He lives in Sudbury, Ontario with his wife and two sons.
