Celebrated Canadian writer Ivan Coyote (Care Of, Gender Failure) joins the Gulf of Georgia Cannery to share their experiences working in skilled trades throughout their life. Ivan’s experiences demonstrate that there are people of all gender and sexual identities in industrial and trade work, and showcase the real, lived experiences of 2SLGBTQIA+ community members in these fields.

Ivan Coyote is a writer, storyteller and performer. Born and raised in Whitehorse, Yukon, they are the author of thirteen books, the creator of four films, seven stage shows, and three albums that combine storytelling with music. Coyote’s books have won the ReLit Award, the B.C. Book Prize for Writing That Provokes, been named a Stonewall Honour Book, been longlisted for Canada Reads, been shortlisted for the Hilary Weston Prize for non-fiction, and the Governor General’s Award for non-fiction twice.
