The fall season of BC Libraries Present is here, and it’s starting with a remarkable conversation you won’t want to miss.
Carol Off: At a Loss for Words
Thursday, September 25
6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Pacific
Online via CrowdCast
At a Loss for Words is available in the ORL’s collection.
As co-host of CBC Radio’s As It Happens for more than fifteen years, Carol Off has interviewed over 25,000 people, offering her a rare perspective on an increasingly divided world. In her bestselling book At a Loss for Words, she explores how language has been distorted, weaponized, and stripped of its shared meaning—particularly words like democracy, freedom, and truth.
For this event, Off will be joined in conversation by former Vancouver City Councillor Andrea Reimer. Together, they’ll dive into how language shapes public life and what it means when words lose their power to connect us.
