Local Writer to Host Book Reading at North Delta Library

Delta, B.C. - Come on down to George Mackie Library this Wednesday evening as our very own columnist Alex Sangha will read from his first book entitled, "Imagine: Ideas that Challenge the Status Quo"

Imagine places ideas in society and gets readers thinking critically about their most cherished beliefs and values. The topics are vast and varied: abortion, immigration, gay rights, love, mentorship, and sustainable development. There is no right answer. We must come to our own conclusions. If we can listen and learn from each other, we can accept our differences. Everyone has ideas on how to make the world a better place and fill humankind with hope. Imagine espouses humanitarian and egalitarian ideals such as every citizen deserves to reach their potential and contribute to society. Imagine is written from the perspective of protecting the people and the planet for current and future generations. You will learn of thought-provoking issues. The book proposes that we are all one and connected by spiritual energy. This will help us look for what we have in common and bring about social peace, social progress, and social change that light our souls and lift humanity in one colossal embrace.

Alex Sangha has been a columnist with the Delta Free Press, the Surrey North Delta Leader, and Indo Canadian Voice Newspaper. He has also contributed to the Georgia Straight website and the South Asian Post. In 2008, the Georgia Straight selected Alex in their Best of Vancouver issue as a bright light who challenges the status quo. Alex has a Bachelor of Social Work with a First Class Standing from UBC, and a MSc in Public Administration and Public Policy from the Department of Government at the London School of Economics. Alex works as a Youth Counsellor and is a Registered Social Worker in BC.
