"I'm MAD " was presented at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education by Honey Novick. She’s sung tributes to Leonard Cohen and Austin Clarke with George Elliott Clarke. She is artist resource with the Friendly Spike Theatre Band (for 17 years) and Poet In the School with the League of Canadian Poets and Poetry In Voice.  She is an active member of the Inkwell Writers and High Park Poets.  And in November she will help pay tribute to Joe Rosenblatt on one occasion, and will perform in tribute to "Sophie Tucker, Last of the Red Hot Mommas on another.
