In 2025, the Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre (BCM&CC) hosted its fourth annual Speaker’s event that featured renowned journalist and broadcaster Anna Maria Tremonti.
In the past, speakers included Tremonti, Dr. Brian Goldman and Jesse Wente, and each proved very successful after being selected by popular vote through a public survey.
This year, the BCM&CC is again planning the return of the speaker’s event and wants to hear the public’s thoughts as to which speaker would be of most interest.
“Help us choose our 2026 speaker by taking this brief survey and tell us who you’d most like to see in person (right here in Bruce County!) and for a chance to win a $25 gift card to Little Black Dog.”
