South River Seniors Telling Their Stories is a community-made collection of stories, anecdotes, aural history and reminiscences told by Seniors who live in South River, Ontario.
In today’s episode we join a very lively meeting on September 11th 2024 with Keitha Redmond, Bill O’Hallerin, Linda Bass, Peggy Parent, Deborah Saunders, Sandra Train, Nadene Thériault-Copeland and Darren Copeland.
To provide a bit of context, South River is a village of 1100 people established in 1906 and located about half way between the cities of Huntsville and North Bay in Ontario, Canada. The village is surrounded by the rural communities of Lount, Machar, Laurier, Ballentyne, Sundridge, Jolly and Strong.
These stories were collected in a weekly storytelling circle at the The South River Friendly Circle. They are broadcast on NAISA Radio every Saturday at 1 pm and are available as a podcast or as individual audio segments on soundcloud.com/naisa
“South River Seniors Telling Their Stories” is produced by New Adventures in Sound Art as part of the South River Storytelling Project for Seniors. The project is funded by the Government of Canada through the New Horizons for Seniors program.
