If mysterious, unexplained tracks in the deepest of woods and a bold, hair-raising attempt to uncover the truth behind a century-old Labrador legend sound like just the kind of thrill you’re after, then the Orillia Public Library has an event for you.
Join professional explorer and best-selling author Adam Shoalts via an exclusive Zoom event on Wednesday, March 30 at 6:30 p.m. as he regales us with his latest adventure from his new book, The Whisper on the Night Wind: The True History of a Wilderness Legend.
He will discuss the fascinating story of a century-old wilderness tale from the Labrador wild involving strange tracks in the woods and Shoalts’s attempt to unravel it.

A regular guest on television and radio, his books include Alone Against the North and A History of Canada in 10 Maps, both being national bestsellers.
