  • Join Surrey Poet Laureate Renée Sarojini Saklikar to create a legacy for Surrey
Surrey’s Poet Laureate, Renée Sarojini Saklikar, will guide teens and seniors in writing short stories about their lives in Surrey in two separate workshops, co-hosted by Surrey Libraries and PICS (Progressive Intercultural Community Services Society).
 
Seniors will share their early experiences and memories either as long-time Surrey residents or as newcomers/settlers to/in Canada, using the prompt, "I remember when" and teens will write to the prompt, "My best day/my worst day, growing up/living in Surrey." Teens will be invited to share their response to the stories of the Seniors. Completed works will be published in a Legacy Project anthology.
 
This is a great opportunity for Surrey community members to share stories and explore their writing while contributing to a legacy for Surrey. Light refreshments will be provided and registration is required.
