The AAO Eastern Ontario Chapter is pleased to
partner for a second year with the Ottawa Storytellers, and this year, it's for
an evening of Christmas stories. Storytellers Leah Sander and Kim Kilpatrick
will tell Christmas stories, based on personal memories or historical events,
and share the process of constructing and telling a story.
Join us in exploring
common interests between archives and storytelling.
Refreshments will be
served. Hope to see you there!

Storytellers
Kim Kilpatrick
Kim is known for autobiographical material - humourous, entertaining,
and engaging stories about living as a person who is blind, as well as folk
tales and some historical material.
Kim has over ten years of experience as a storyteller and has performed
regularly on the NAC fourth Stage since 2004, as well as at storytelling
festivals in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, and Saint Mary’s. She is a MASC artist
in schools and for seniors and also performs in cafes, pubs, museums, parks,
and at story slams.
Leah Sander
Leah Sander has been an archivist at Library and Archives Canada since
2007. Her prior archival experience includes the Hudson’s Bay Company Archives,
in Manitoba (2003-2007) and the National Archives of Scotland (2001-2002).
Being part of a family that communicated through stories, Leah has
always been interested in storytelling. In fact, stories are what drew her to
the archival profession. In 2007, she took a beginner’s storytelling workshop
with Ottawa Storytellers and has been telling stories in the area ever since.
Because of her professional interests, many of her stories are historical in
nature, but she does enjoy a good folktale too.
