Stories We Don't Tell

Paul and Stefan talk about sharing a story where the audience already knows the outcome. Andrew Cheung tells a story about going to New York in November 2016 to be a part of Hilary Clinton breaking the glass ceiling. Things didn’t go as planned.

Paul and Stefan return for a regular run of storytelling discussions and stories from the live event. They discuss the importance of doing the Stories We Don’t Tell live event at different houses and apartments across the city.

For this episode, Stories We Don’t Tell co-founder Brianne Benness also returns! For our October event, Brianne happened to be in Toronto for the weekend and brought a story with her.

The artist referenced in this episode is Maximilian Suillerot. Check out his work at maximiliansuillerot.com.

For this episode, we’re taking you right into the live event Stories of Home. Stories of Home took place on November 23rd, 2017 at the Centre for Social Innovation. We asked different inspiring people to explore the idea of what home is to them and to tell us about their journey in finding it. The event was part of National Housing Week - a moment for Canadians to come together and acknowledge that safe, affordable housing in an integral part of strong livable communities.

The audio is a bit dicey at times, but so it goes with capturing a live event. We think the content is important to hear, so that’s what counts. In order, you’ll hear from Jesse Thistle, Claire-Hélène Heese-Boutin, Roz McLean and Sage Tyrtle.

Regular host Stefan Hostetter returns to continue our Stories of Home Mini-Series. For this episode, Stefan talks with Claire-Hélène Heese-Boutin. Claire-Hélène is an active member of the Dufferin Grove Housing Co-operative which led her to get involved with the Parkdale Neighbourhood Land Trust and the Community Finance Working Committee of the PCED.

Guest host Michelle German talks with housing advocate Roz McLean, continuing our Stories of Home Mini-Series.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be introducing you to some of the performers in Stories of Home, a collaboration between Evergreen, the Centre for Social Innovation, Stories We Don’t Tell and media partner Now Magazine.
