The brainchild of retired Carleton University Chemistry Professor Don Wiles in 2004, the Almonte Lectures covered an eclectic range of topics. In 2015, Warren Thorngate, Glenda Jones and Mel Turner took over the organizational duties, until the end of 2022. At some point longer courses were added to the repertoire, called Learning in Almonte. 2023 sees a new group organizing lectures and courses, with the group called Learning Again in Almonte. They are a volunteer-run non-profit offering a variety of learning opportunities to the community. In keeping with past tradition, any money remaining at the end of each year will be donated to local charities, particularly the Mississippi Mills Public Library.

As we age, our voice changes, sometimes drastically. From a wobbly sound and hoarseness to a lack of breath stamina and voice projection, these changes can be devastating.
In response to a huge demand from participants in his recent course on the human voice Dr. Mark Wilkinson returns to show you why this can happen, but why it doesn’t have to.
With both the science behind it and practical exercises to fix it, Dr. Mark will have you feeling like your true self in no time as you reclaim your freest, most authentic voice.
