The Record featured an article on Isabel and Neruda on June 16, 2011.

"Isabel Cisterna has that sort of dogged determination that sometimes goes unnoticed until suddenly, the results of her years of work seem to be everywhere.

The mastermind behind Neruda Productions is celebrating her 10th anniversary this year, that’s 10 years of bringing some of the most extraordinary multicultural entertainment to Waterloo Region, often for the first time and giving new Canadian artists in the community opportunities to show their stuff. Musicians, dancers, writers and fine artists from Africa, Asia and South America have achieved recognition for their talent because of Neruda and always, her mind is working to come up with new ideas."
