BESIDE & CARDINAL EDITIONS - KNOW-HOW

Beside & Editions Cardinal - Know How

//

Gestures repeated a thousand times, precious advice, wisdom anchored in the present, Savoir Faire lists the knowledge of grandparents who have the unsuspected potential to equip themselves for the future and which tends to be lost from generation to generation.

From urban courtyards to the vast countryside of Quebec, Ontario and the Maritimes, journalist Eugénie Emond leads us to meet some twenty seniors to pass on some of their knowledge.

A joint publication of BESIDE and Éditions Cardinal
