Mary Hays is our 2022 Storyteller in Residence
Mary’s storytelling adventures have taken her across Canada, to Brazil, and to London, England. In Alberta, she has toured widely, telling stories from Fort Chipewyan to Milk River, from Wainwright to Banff, and all the urban centers.
Mary enjoys sharing folktales, family, and historical stories with audiences of all ages – especially stories that touch the heart and probe with humour what it means to be present in this time and place. She works online and in-person in schools, museums, libraries, cemeteries, cafes, and tipis – wherever stories are told.
Mary is an active member of Storytelling Alberta, Storytelling Alberta Calgary Chapter, and Storytellers of Canada - Conteurs du Canada.
