Attend the 2024 CBC Massey Lectures in Victoria

The CBC Massey Lectures are back this fall, and they're coming to Victoria, B.C. on October 19!

This year, novelist and poet Ian Williams wants to start a conversation about conversations. He says we need to address how civic and civil discourse has deteriorated.

His 2024 Massey Lectures are called What I Mean to Say: Remaking Conversation In Our Time. Both serious and playful at the same time, Williams suggests that we need to realize that one-half of our conversations is, in fact, listening.

In October, Williams will visit five Canadian provinces for live recordings of his Massey Lectures. The cities are: Sydney, Iqaluit, Saskatoon, Victoria and Toronto. The series will be broadcast on CBC Radio's IDEAS and be made available as a podcast and onCBC Listen in November.

Tickets are now on sale through the theatre box offices.
