Arboretum Festival 2014: Why I Left Ottawa – Festival Launch & Panel [August 18, 2014]


Arboretum Arts + Music festival kicked off their third edition.
The festival funs from August 18 – 23.
The first day was a great panel discussion called “Why I Left Ottawa“.
Before the discussion happened, it began with a brief keynote by artistic director Rolf Klausener.
Panels that participated were:

  • Kathleen Edwards (acclaimed singer-songwriter)
  • Remi Thériault (Ottawa-based photographer)
  • Olivier Fairfield (Musician)
  • Emmanuel Sayer (director of Ottawa Explosion Weekend & program director at CHUO 89.1 FM)

Overall it was a great topic and discussion for a packed crowd.
My favourite was hearing Kathleen’s discussion and hoping for some F-Bombs (Which did happen).
All four of them spoke and answered well.
