About Us
Our Mission
Strengthening Community Through Storytelling
Since 2008, Suspicious Fish has focused on storytelling as a means to address the various challenges in bringing community members closer together. Our workshops and community events focus on developing individual narratives while working as a collective. With this in mind, we continue to grow as an organization and seek additional means to engage our community through storytelling. As we do, we remain committed to our values of encouragement, honouring creative voices, and further nurturing the relationships of our diverse community.
Who are we?
The Suspicious Fish Creative Literacy and Arts program is a registered non-profit organization operating in the Southwest of Montreal. Our program provides a platform to write and foster a supportive setting where each individual engages in the process of discovering a voice that can become unique and personal.
Our Approach
The Suspicious Fish uses storytelling to expand literacy, foster self-confidence, and strengthen community. We collaborate with schools, community groups, and individuals to facilitate in-person and online storytelling activities, primarily in Southwest Montreal. Our participants include everyone from children to seniors who to learn, create, listen, and express themselves. We share the stories the emerge through self-published books, short films, comics, theatre pieces, and other creative mediums that honour each participant’s unique voice.
