The author of the book "The Recovering Farmer" is finally making his tour of Parkland Libraries a reality next week.
Gerry Friesen tried to visit Dauphin, Ste Rose and Roblin earlier this year, but had to cancel due to poor weather.
Friesen says he is looking forward to sitting down and talking face to face with local farmers dealing with mental health issues.
"They can talk to me and I can talk to them. I have said for many years now that when we can talk to each other, that is such an important first step to be able to talk about particularly mental wellness, and how it affects us. And so I know that we learn from each other. I have learned a lot from all of the people that I hae met over the course of my journey."
Friesen is the executive director of the Manitoba Farmer Wellness program.
He will be at the Dauphin Library on November 18th at 6 pm, at the Ste Rose Library on November 19th at 1 pm, and at the Roblin Library at 6 pm on the 19th.
