Book Launch and Reading with Author Elaine Jules
2025-11-19 12:00 - 13:00 | Merritt Campus, 4155 Belshaw St., Merritt, British Columbia, V1K 1R1, Canada
Elaine Jules had just completed her term as Councillor of the Adams Lake Indian Band when Covid-19 rippled through British Columbia. She took the anti-vaccination route, but it caught up to her and took her down fast.

While intubated, one might think she would just be fighting so her body would win a battle that almost took her life, but no, it was much more than that, Elaine was on another kind of journey, a journey through the dream world.

Happening from 12:00 – 1:00PM at the Library
