Dear Mr. Smallwood – Contributors Panel with editor Vicki Hallett

The period surrounding Confederation with Canada was one of tremendous change and upheaval in the lives of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.  This turbulence is revealed in the many letters that ordinary citizens wrote to Joseph R. Smallwood in the years 1948 – 1950. 

Dear Mr. Smallwood, edited by Vicki Hallett and Sonja Boon includes over 200 of these letters and offers modern readers a chance to reflect on those times through those letters and to connect with the personal and political history of Canada’s youngest province. 

Please join us for an interactive discussion of Dear Mr. Smallwood: Confederation in the Words of Those Who Lived It, with Vicki Hallett and contributors Jennifer Morgan and Andrea Procter.
