Singing Storytellers thanks the Province of Nova Scotia and the Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage and the One Time Emerging Culture and Heritage Program for funding our symposium! Singing Storytellers recognizes funding from the Support4Culture, a designated lottery program of the Nova Scotia Provincial Lotteries and Casino Corporation.

The deadline for proposals has now passed and we are reviewing them. There are an exciting number of very strong proposals for scholarly papers, workshops, exhibits and film screenings! We are also working with a number of international artists on special performances and theatrical presentations. We’ll be in touch with those who’ve submitted proposals by April 15th, to confirm acceptance.

OUR GREAT THANKS to the members of the Cape Breton KIWANIS CLUB who have very kindly and generously agreed to provide local shuttle service for Symposium participants during the Singing Storytellers Symposium! This is an tremendous demonstration of the kindness and hospitality of Cape Bretoners!
