Author and Globe and Mail columnist Roy MacGregor is delivering a public lecture on Tom Thomson November 6th at the Canadian Canoe Museum.

It is being presented by Trent University and Peter Gzowski College, where MacGregor is the 2014-2015 Ashley Fellow at the university.

The talk, entitled "Canoe Lake CSI: The Enduring Mystery of Tom Thomson", will be delivered at 7 p.m. on November 6th, and presents the Tom Thomson mystery and the effort of forensic experts to determine where in Algonquin Park the famous landscape painter's body lies.

MacGregor, author of Northern Light: The Enduring Mystery of Tom Thomson And The Woman Who Loved Him, will share insights into Thomson's career, his mysterious death, and the tragedy of the young woman he left behind. A book signing and refreshments will follow the talk. Pay what you can.

MacGregor has a deep connection to Algonquin Park, as his grandfather was chief ranger of the park, his mother was born there and his father worked in the park as a logger.
