The evening begins at 7pm with refreshments and cash bar, author reading with Q&A at 8pm.
Join Shaena Lambert for a discussion of her book Petra, led by local author Angie Abdou.
A dedicated environmentalist and climate activist, Shaena was arrested twice on Burnaby Mountain for crossing a police barrier, to protest the building of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline from the Alberta tar sands, and continues to actively oppose oil pipelines, logging of old growth, and other policies leading to climate change and environmental destruction.
Her most recent novel is Petra, inspired by the activist and green party founder Petra Kelly who changed history and transformed environmental politics, only to find herself caught up in a triangle of love, jealousy and murder.
