A Montreal borough is reversing its decision to cancel a story-reading event for children, announcing that the reinstated event will be hosted by a well-known drag queen.

St-Laurent borough Mayor Alan DeSousa said in a statement on Aug. 2 that officials met with Sebastien Potvin, who performs as Barbada de Barbades, and approved two story-reading events on Nov. 5 at two libraries: the Bibliothèque du Boisé and the Bibliothèque du Vieux-Saint-Laurent.
