Bilingual symposium
On April 25, a full-day bilingual symposium on Ferron's writing and medical practice will be held in the Faculty of Medicine (15th floor Conference Room), with the participation of faculty and students from French and Medicine and invited speakers from across Canada. The evening of April 25 will be devoted to a public screening of a recent NFB documentary on Dr. Ferron, Le cabinet du docteur Ferron, a film by His Excellency Jean-Jean Lafond. Following the screening, a discussion will be held in English and French.
Members of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍøcommunity and of the general public are invited to visit the exhibition, which will emphasize the connections between writing and medicine in Ferron's career, and his interest in the Maritimes and l'Acadie. They are also encouraged to attend the symposium and film screening. Guided visits of the exhibition can be arranged in English or French.
