About this Event
Celebrated Arctic Adventurer, Storyteller and Bestselling Author, James Raffan, entertains with a light-hearted yet thought-provoking presentation called "The Accidental Canadian".
The show title was derived from the simple toss of a coin by his British parents when they were indecisive about which country they would immigrate to after WWII - South Africa or Canada. James (and his 3 sisters) suddenly became 'Accidental Canadians'.
“The Accidental Canadian” is filled with 'flashy visuals, whimsical stories, and original songs performed live. It's a two-hour presentation providing laughter, joy, tears and an unprecedented sense of Canadian pride.
His message to Canadians is, “Stand strong and together to protect the wild places and the integrity of the people he bore witness to, through his lifetime of travel and scribing."
