A Storytelling Circle is being hosted every Wednesday at 6:30 pm at the South River Friendly Circle, 10 Isabella Street, South River, Ontario to tell and share stories about life in South River. It is part of a new initiative led by New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) where NAISA will be providing opportunities to seniors in the area to share their stories with friends and supporters and for NAISA to document and present these stories for others in the area to enjoy at a later time. The South River Storytelling Project is supported with funding from the New Horizons for Seniors program of the Government of Canada.
