NOVEMBER SPEAKER: 

Phillippa Cranston Baran:

Phillippa’s Presentation:   Toller Cranston – a creative force, a resister, a proud Canadian

Phillippa is a Canadian writer and an award-winning film producer and the sister of Toller Cranston - one of the most compelling and inspirational people Canada has ever produced – two-time Olympian, six-time National Figure Skating Champion, Order of Canada recipient, renowned international artist, and an outrageous, over-the-top human being.

Recently Phillippa’s book Toller Cranston:  Ice, Paint, Passion has won five international awards.

Toller passed away suddenly in Mexico in January of 2015.  Phillippa became Estate Trustee.  During a punishing ten-year journey to resolve her brother’s estate, she acquired a boatload of stories ranging from hideous to hilarious, and a great deal of hard-earned wisdom and experience – some of which she will share in her presentation to us.  The stories about Toller are colourful, inspirational and carry powerful messages about resistance, commitment, and authenticity.   He changed a sport.  He changed attitudes.  He changed lives. 

You won’t want to miss this inspirational, factual and informative story.

November 4th at the Curling Club starting at 10:00am.
