She’s the driving force behind the world-renowned Celtic Colours International Festival, she’s an artist, a leader, a family-woman, and an inspiration to young people everywhere. How does she do it all and why? Come hear about what truly inspires Joella Foulds to preserve our cultural heritage and continually give back to our community.

During the evening we will also hear from Dr. Richard MacKinnon, CBU Professor of Folklore and Canada Research Chair in Intangible Culture who will be speaking about an initiative he has been working on. Songstress, Billie Yvette Rogers, describes herself as being, “a tad weird, very loving, minimalistic, and a deep-minded individual”. She will be sharing her talents and stories about life and love through song.

“Ideas Powered by Passion” is about encouraging new thinking through speech and music. This series is meant to uncover the passions of our people through the sharing of their stories. Our previous scintillating speakers have already inspired many IDEAS guests into action, helping them to realize their own passions. We hope you will join us to hear from our exciting line-up of guests!

Please bring a friend, a smile, and your favourite mug to fill with complimentary organic, fair trade coffee or tea.
