  • September 15, 2025: Author Talk - Harvesting Freedom


    September 15, 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, Chatham Cultural Centre

    Author Talk: Gabriel Allahdua - Harvesting Freedom: The Life of a Migrant Worker in Canada

    Free event and open to all. No registration required. Light refreshments will be served.

    Chatham-Kent Public Library welcomes author Gabriel Allahdua. Gabriel will discuss his experiences as a migrant worker in Canada, where he was called essential, but treated as disposable, and how a truly healthy, sustainable, and just food system must nourish everyone - from the land to the workers.

    Copies of 'Harvesting Freedom: The Life of a Migrant Worker in Canada' are available to borrow from Chatham-Kent Public Library.

    Made possible in part by the support of Rotary Club of Chatham-Kent in celebration of Welcome Week.
