John Lorinc is a journalist and editor. He writes regularly about cities, climate, and planning for a range of media, including the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, Corporate Knights, Walrus, and Spacing Magazine, where he is senior editor. John is the author of four previous books. He has also contributed to, co-edited, or project managed every volume of Coach House’s uTOpia series. Away from his laptop, John is an enthusiastic but untalented hockey player and once (but never again) co-produced a musical cabaret about local history.

The Island Talks speaker series launched in the Summer of 2022 with six local author readings, had amazing turnouts on the Hotel patio, and great conversations followed. Since then, we’ve hosted Talks featuring community conversations on social and environmental issues, as well as the Summer literary talks.

The Island Talks gratefully acknowledges the support from The Writers’ Union of Canada, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Wolfe Island Commons, and the Hotel Wolfe Island.
