THIS MAY, the Pellan Room at Library and Archives Canada hosted the launch of author Heather Menzies’s Reclaiming the Commons for the Common Good, a memoir in which the former head of the Writers’ Union of Canada recounts her Scottish ancestors’ lives on traditional common land, and how their way of life can inform the way we live today.
