Those wanting to attend next month’s presentation by Margaret Trudeau here should purchase their tickets as soon as possible since they are selling quickly.
“We have about 60 left,” Tana Langtry, community liaison worker with the local branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, said this morning.
“They are selling steadily, so if people wait until the last minute, they might be disappointed,” she warned, noting tickets probably will be sold out within a week or so.
Trudeau, the youngest prime minister’s wife in Canadian history when she wed former PM Pierre Elliott Trudeau, will speak April 14 at the Townshend Theatre about her life experiences, the challenges she faced being in the public eye, and how she overcame a bipolar disorder.
Presented by the local branch of the CMHA, Trudeau’s talk will be part of its 30th anniversary celebrations.
Trudeau has authored three books, including her latest, “Changing My Mind,” which topped the best-sellers charts.
It outlines her bipolar condition and her journey of recovery, acceptance, and hope.
The book is available to purchase, and will be on sale during Trudeau’s visit.
She also will be on hand to sign copies following her one-hour talk.
Tickets, which cost $20 each, are available Monday-Friday at 414 Scott St.
Those attending also are being asked to bring along a non-perishable food item, which will be donated to local food banks.
