The Margaret Laurence Home committee is once again organizing two evenings of entertainment to celebrate CBC’s Canada Reads event.

Canada Reads is an annual event in which CBC picks five different books, all having to do with a certain theme, and five Canadian celebrities choose to defend one of these books. Debates are held over four days and after each day, one book is eliminated until the winner is chosen. This year, the theme is “starting over”, with the books each representing different challenges of making a new start in life.
