EOC will be partnering with local cultural organization Ottawa Storytellers to host an event as part of Culture Days, a cross-Canada celebration of arts and culture.  Members of the Ottawa Storytellers Leah Sander (also a member of EOC!) and Sherri Yazdani will tell historical tales and then discuss how they created stories from historical sources.  This is EOC's first time partnering with the Storytellers, and we look forward to exploring the links between archives and the stories they tell.
