Tom will be presenting one of his most relevant storytelling sessions this summer at Fort Edmonton. This in-person presentation is organized by the University of Alberta Alumni Society. It is part of their “Campus in the Community: Places, Faces & Spaces of Edmonton’s Past” event.
You should come! Attendance is free with admission to Fort Edmonton Park.
If you can’t come, or if you enjoy it, you can book me to do one or both of these presentations!
CITY OF CHAMPIONS: Advocates, Activists, and Change-makers.
Length: 1 hour to 1.5hours. Recommended audience: 3-30 persons
Delivered via: Zoom; Google Meets; in person.
From fur traders’ demands to suffragists’ demonstrations, Edmonton has been home to champions, advocates, and activists for hundreds of years. Hear stories of those who questioned, pushed, demanded, and strove – sometimes even for causes we might shrink from today. Leave inspired to take action yourself – it’s the most Edmonton thing you can do.
Want to book this talk for your organization? It is ready for in-person or digital delivery. Contact us!
I’ll also be presenting that morning at the Capitol Theatre on a lighter tone:
SAY WHAT? Eight Unbelievable Stories of Edmonton’s Past
Length: 1 hour. Recommended audience: 3-30 persons
Delivered via: Zoom; Google Meets.
Some bits of history are just so bizarre, you can’t believe they actually happened. Take a journey through nine ridiculous stories and, in the end, guess which one of them is a fake. Truth is stranger than fiction!

Hi Tom,
I wish I had been in Edmonton to attend your presentation! on August 9th! However, I was in the Yukon on an 8 day trip, which was fantastic and the weather was perfect! Lots of incredible history and indigenous culture there (including boat building!). It was my third trip there, but the last one was 2007, so there were many changes.
Regards, Marla

Great to hear, Marla! Thanks for dropping me a note so I can be jealous of your amazing trip. 😀 I’ll have to pick your brain sometime about things to see!
