Storytelling Club Activities

Learn about how our Storytelling Club works and what we do each week!

Into the National Record

This week, our storytelling club took an important step in ensuring that our work will be preserved for generations to come. We submitted our first Digital Legal Deposit to Library and Archives Canada (LAC). The submission included the EPUB edition of our book Where Dignity Grows: Stories of Self, Others, Nature, and Community. While the process itself is straightforward—uploading the digital file along with basic publisher information—it carries great meaning. By depositing our publication, we are contributing to Canada’s national collection and making sure that our voices are part of the country’s permanent cultural record.

Youth, Artists Publish Dignity Stories

Where Dignity Grows is a collection of short stories about dignity and kindness To mark two decades of promoting dignity and kindness, youth, artists and community volunteers from Art Borups Corners and Ottawa-based Global Dignity Canada launched a heartwarming community arts project. The groups, with funding from the Ontario Arts Council Multi and Inter-Arts Projects program, worked with youth and artists to explore introductory storytelling as part of their summer program, and decided to publish a collection of 20 short stories.
