  Come join other writers! The lonely solitary writer is a myth. Writing needs to be shared and writing is richer when done in community.  In this Symposium, we will share our writings. Donnaleen will facilitate the sharing of prose in several genres such as memoir, essays, and other forms of writing, and provide some ideas on methodology whilst giving you an opportunity to discuss your process.  Feedback will be given by Donnaleen and participants, giving you, and your writing an opportunity to breathe and grow.

  We’ll start with a brief history of the development of submarines from the first iterations to the present day, and the employment of these vessels, often called “U-boats”, as tactical and strategic weapons of war in the 19^th, 20^th and 21^st centuries.  Then we’ll move into  Canada’s need for submarines to protect our sovereignty and defend the shores of our three oceans, the sad state of our current submarine fleet and the choices we face.  Can we upgrade our undersea capabilities satisfactorily without going nuclear?
