2. Canadian Authors Series

The Buzz -- Writer William Thomas is the brains and energy behind this very popular literary series, which brings in some of Canada's top wordsmiths each month for an evening full of wit and the written word. Past editions of the program have welcomed Margaret Atwood, Alistair MacLeod, Farley Mowat and Mordecai Richler. To attend, you'll have to get lucky – the series competely sells out every season. NB Seven O'Clock Tastings usually feature live music and wines and spirits produced in Canada.
