University of Alberta's Festival of ideas 2010

Edmonton has long been known as “festival city” because of the myriad festivals and cultural events that make it such a vibrant and exciting community in which to live. The Festival of Ideas is a legacy gift (from the University of Alberta) to the city that builds on this tradition and acknowledges the vital interconnections between science and the arts as well as between the University of Alberta and the community at large.

2010's festival of ideas is full of promise with speakers of the calibre of Jared Diamond and Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Click here for more details: https://www.festivalofideas.ca/index.cfm
