Launch of Young Voices 2011
October 14, 2011
Last night, I really enjoyed attending the launch of Young Voices 2011, the Toronto Public Library’s annual magazine of art and writing for youth aged 12 to 19. It was great to hear the teens talk about what inspires them and to share their passion for their art.
Thanks to the youth librarians at the TPL for all they do. I’m glad to be a guest editor of this fine magazine.
The deadline for next year’s entries is March 31, 2012. Please help to spread the word to young Toronto artists and writers. For more information, go to the TPL’s Young Voices page.
Writers Speak Out on Copyright
February 15, 2011
The Writers’ Union of Canada, under the leadership of Chair Alan Cumyn, has produced its first video. Written by Alan and featuring five writers, the video will be distributed widely to express TWUC’s concerns about Bill C-32, an Act to Amend the Copyright Act. Please help spread the word about this important issue.
