Our Next Event
SOLD OUT!
Welcome to Chapter Two: Journalism in an Age of Rage.
Save the date: Saturday, December 6, 2025
Bayfield Town Hall, Bayfield, ON
We are excited to announce two of Canada’s most respected voices in journalism:
Carol Off - Broadcast journalist, award-winning author, and former host of As It Happens (CBC). In her latest book, "At a Loss for Words: Conversations in an Age of Rage," a national bestseller, Carol digs deep into six words whose meanings have been distorted and weaponized in recent years – including democracy, freedom, and truth – and asks whether we can reclaim their value.
Lisa LaFlamme - Former CTV National News chief anchor and current host of Carry the Fire podcast. Lisa was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2019, an honour that recognized her contributions to journalism, news broadcasting, and her support and promotion of human rights. Lisa will lead a compelling conversation with Carol, diving into the complex landscape of modern media and public trust.
This dynamic duo will help us rethink how we consume news, challenge assumptions, and spark meaningful dialogue about the role of journalism today.
We are sold out for this event. To be added to the waitlist, you have to go through Eventbrite and "purchase a ticket." Then you'll be placed on the waiting list and notified if a spot pops up.
About The Bayfield Writers Series
Where Writers and Readers Connect to Celebrate the Power of Story
Presented by The Village Bookshop, The Bayfield Writers Series is a new literary initiative dedicated to bringing together readers and writers. The series will showcase the art of writing in all its many genres, including historical fiction, memoir, non-fiction, and more. The Bayfield Writers Series will also delve beyond the classic novel into other written art forms such as journalism, screenwriting, graphic novels, songwriting, poetry, and even personal journaling. We all have a story to tell, and the Bayfield Writers Series will help writers and readers bring stories to life, whether on the page, on screen, in imagery, or with the spoken word.
The Bayfield Writers Series is proud to host in the beauty of Bayfield and the Greater Huron County area. Our region is the perfect setting for readers and writers to gather and celebrate what we do best: share our lives and our communities through story.

“Stories are tools. Humans think in stories. We are a storytelling animal. We don’t think in facts, we don’t think in statistics, we don’t think in equations, we think in stories.”
