The deepest darkest secrets or the most breathtaking stories. All can be heard at Montreal's own Confabulation. Luciana Gravotta took it all in. Here is her report:

“Hi everybody. The story I'm going to share tonight is about the first and only ultimately night I've spent in Athens"

It’s called confabulation. But no one is making anything up here. These are true-life stories told by everyday people.

Concordia University opened its doors this weekend, to welcome comic book artist Art Spiegelman. The event was organized by SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art and invited fans of all ages to come and listen to the iconic figure. Esther Viragh has more.

The crowd eagerly clapped for their long awaited guest. Art Spiegelman had finally arrived to give his lecture, on the history of comic books. He was also there to introduce the release of his new creation. Many, like Tracy Hurren, attended the event out of passion for the genre.

The Montreal Oasis Marathon attracted twenty-four thousand runners on Sunday. This was the highest number of runners in the marathon’s history.

Unfortunately, the event also had its lows.

One participant died of a heart attack while running. The thirty-year-old man collapsed with less than two kilometres to finish. An Urgence Sante spokesperson says the weather might have played a role in the man’s death.

Forty runners needed medical attention, with twelve going to the hospital.
