The Walrus is in Calgary on Oct 27!
Last chance to book tickets now!

This year is the fifth anniversary of The Walrus, and we're celebrating by taking the magazine off the page and putting it on the stage at Theatre Calgary, in the EPCOR Centre for the Performing Arts.

A fundraiser for the Walrus Foundation, the evening will offer a unique blend of conversation, readings and music. Hosted by author and former Calgary Herald columnist Catherine Ford, it will feature performances by six-time JUNO Award winner Colin James, as well as a provocative discussion between University of Calgary professor Aritha van Herk and Walrus writer Chris Wood about monetizing clean water and the global green shift, and readings by Jaspreet Singh and other Walrus authors.

Your ticket includes great food and drink at the pre- and post-event receptions, which will boast goodie bags and a very special silent auction.

Show your support for The Walrus by joining us for this unique event. Tickets are just $125, and tax receipts are available from the Walrus Foundation.

Buy your tickets today at Ticketmaster.ca or by phoning 403-777-0000.

Presented with the generous support of RBC, Enbridge, the Calgary Herald, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Pilsner Urquell, Pages Bookstore and Bullfrog Power.

(Please note, the ticket competition is now closed. Thanks to all entrants, and congratulations to the winners.)
