Events Roundup
June 4, 2026
This week, we're highlighting an event pick by Taproot community coordinator Debbi Serafinchon. Debbi recommends the Book Launch with Nicolette Little where the author will talk about her book Red Dresses to Memory Stones: Multi-Media Activism and Gender Based Violence in Canada.
Book Launch with Nicolette Little
📅 Tuesday, June 9 7:00 PM
📍 Audreys Books
Join us for the book launch of Red Dresses to Memory Stones: Multi-Media Activism and Gender Based Violence in Canada.
Here's what Debbi had to say:
"Hearing directly from an author offers a unique insight into their work that you can't get from the pages alone. Attending a launch gives you a front-row seat to the 'why' and 'how' behind the book, revealing hidden context, research rabbit holes, and the raw passion that fuelled the story. It turns reading from a solitary act into a shared, inspiring experience."
