NEW

Meet our new book club moderator!

Katie Shaw

Katie Shaw is a self-proclaimed book fanatic who believes the best political conversations happen with a novel in one hand and a strong opinion in the other. As moderator of the Beyond a Ballot Book Club, she brings women across Canada together each month to dig into political fiction and nonfiction — no soapboxes, just great books and better conversation. When she's not devouring the next pick, she's probably recommending it to three people who didn't ask.

Save your seat!

Please note that due to the limited number of seats available and the number of people interested, we are charging a fee to pay our moderator and cover costs. If this fee is a difficulty for you (at all!) please send us a message!

The fee for the Fall cohort is $20 per meeting plus $5 for your workbook.

Please make sure to fully check out through your cart as registration will only be confirmed once you have completed the process.

Please note that registrations are non-refundable.

Dates are subject to change (although rarely do!)
