Howard Pawley, professor emeritus of political science and former premier of Manitoba, will recount stories from his memoir, Keep True: A Life in Politics, during a free public event at the Windsor Public Library’s central branch on Wednesday, October 19.

Pawley will discuss his 19 years in the Manitoba legislature, culminating in his 1981-88 term as premier, the inner workings of government, and political controversies from introducing public auto insurance to the Meech Lake accord.

He will also sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase.

The event opens at 7 p.m.; the Windsor Public Library is located at 850 Ouellette Avenue.
