Young readers were asked to pick their favourite book from the shortlisted TD Award titles in an online poll. One lucky entrant, Jaxen Hartwig of Mitchell, Ontario, won a trip to Toronto to see the $5,000 CBC Fan Choice Award presented to Andrew Larsen and Dušan Petričić for their picture book, In the Tree House. The gala also brought a long-awaited announcement from CCBC President Daryl Novak.

Charles Baillie How To Written and illustrated by Julie Morstad (Vancouver, BC) Simply Read Books for ages 4-8 “With grace and true genius, this book offers children gemlike insights into themselves and into their world at each turn of the page… Julie Morstad’s superb vision allows readers to crystallize their ephemeral emotions — to capture feelings and sensations that permeate their experiences of the world and of themselves… The elegant and warmly expressive art and simple yet powerful text come together to celebrate childhood itself.” JURY MEMBERS: Todd Kyle, CEO, Newmarket Public Library and Member, Board of Directors, Canadian Children’s Book Centre; Sheba Meland, Children's Publishing and Editorial Consultant; Sara Spencer, Junior School Librarian, The York School.

GEOFFREY BILSON AWARD FOR HISTORICAL FICTION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE ($5,000) Sponsored by the Canadian Children’s Book Centre’s Bilson Endowment Fund Graffiti Knight Written by Karen Bass (Hythe, AB) Pajama Press for ages 12 and up “Based on Karen Bass’ exhaustive research, Graffiti Knight reveals that heroism in World War II was not restricted to the battlefields but, with courage and compassion, it could be found anywhere and anytime… The clash between the Soviet victors and the German people after World War II is masterfully captured in this exciting story of a teen in Berlin who deals with uncertainty at home and school by challenging his city’s new social order… A well written and intriguing book possessing strong plot, characters and themes within a historical context.” JURY MEMBERS: Janet Clarke, teacher-librarian, Vanier Catholic Secondary School; Helen Kubiw, teacher- librarian and blogger at CanLit for LittleCanadians; Jo-Anne Naslund, Instructional Programs Librarian, Education Library, University of British Columbia; Gail de Vos (chair), storyteller and Professor, School of Library and Information Studies, University of Alberta. JOHN SPRAY MYSTERY AWARD ($5,000) Sponsored by John Spray Who I’m Not Written by Ted Staunton (Port Hope, ON) Orca Book Publishers for ages 12 and up “Who I’m Not is the literary equivalent of a high-wire act, and Ted Staunton walks the tightrope with nary a misstep. This riveting tale of a boy who assumes a missing teen’s identity and the family that welcomes him back could have been too far-fetched to believe, but instead it is written with authority, heart and a great deal of psychological tension… Readers are bound to join the rest of the book's characters as they fall prey to the charms of the strangely likeable conman protagonist… An instant classic that will be read and enjoyed for years to come.” JURY MEMBERS: Mary Anne Cree, Junior School Librarian, The Bishop Strachan School; Peggy Perdue, curator of the Arthur Conan Doyle Collection, Toronto Public Library; Joel Sutherland, author of Be a Writing Superstar and Haunted Canada 4: More True Tales of Terror, Information Assistant, Ajax Public Library (MLIS, Aberystwyth University), and 'The Barbarian Librarian' on TV's Wipeout Canada.

Levine Books/Scholastic Inc. for ages 12 and up “In Sorrow’s Knot, Erin Bow crafts a powerful story about loss, change and love… The languid pace and high stakes of a village trapped by evil are enthralling…. Drawing from Native North American culture and mythology, the language is lyrical and atmospheric… Erin Bow weaves highly evocative descriptions and gorgeous emotional depth through this magical Native inspired fable… Enthralling, beautifully poetic, and very wise, Sorrow’s Knot is fantasy of the highest order.” JURY MEMBERS: Michael Johnstone, Lecturer, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Department of English, University of Toronto; Kate Newman, Category Manager for Kids & Teen Books, Indigo Books; Rachel Seigel, Sales & Selection Strategist, EduCan Media. ABOUT THE CCBC AWARDS: TD Canadian Children’s Literature Award The TD Canadian Children’s Literature Award was established in 2005 to honour the most distinguished book of the year for children aged one to 12.

The books you read will be used in your English class during the first few weeks of the first trimester. As you read, we urge you to remember that the art of reading is a creative act, a collaboration between reader and writer. Hold a dialogue with these books: question, argue, disagree; underline those passages that exhilarate you as well as those that infuriate you. Keep a notebook to jot down your imme- diate responses to each of these works and write questions that you want to discuss in your English classes. Encourage your family and friends to join you in these reading experiences. A number of the books on this list have been made into movies, many of them wonderful in their own right. Seeing a movie instead of reading the book, however, will not prepare you for your teacher’s assignment related to that book, nor will it replace the unique experience of interacting with a specific text.

It’s a thrill to be meeting in Calgary, nestled in the beautiful Canadian Rockies. This year INPUT is grateful to our conference hosts and to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, a giant in North American public television and across the world. From last year’s conference to this year’s we have moved from the bright lights of Tokyo to this historic city of the Canadian West… and the quality of our hosts remains exemplary. From their recent slew of Canadian Screen Awards to their excellent 2015 election coverage, the CBC has again affirmed its place as an essential service for the Canadian people. The Calgary Organizing Committee is comprised of key Alberta media professionals inviting us to enjoy and appreciate this region of Canada which has been the home of a vibrant independent media community, film schools, and media organizations. The themes of this year’s INPUT center on topics trending now: from virtual reality to local stories for a global audience, from new talk programs to inventive programming for young audiences. INPUT 2016 will ask questions from ‛do we pay a price for our engagement on the web?’ to ‛how do we cover our political leaders?’ Because that’s what INPUT is all about - sharing the successes and challenges we experience in the evolving media landscape.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lone Eagle Entertainment Ltd. In
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lone Eagle Entertainment Ltd. in association with Mindset Television Inc. announces production of a new comedic panel / variety show “TOO MUCH INFORMATION” for Super Channel (TORONTO, Ontario, Canada – April 30, 2014) Lone Eagle Entertainment Ltd., in association with Mindset Television Inc., is proud to announce that production has begun on the first season (36 episodes) of “Too Much Information”, a new original half-hour comedic panel/variety show exclusively for Super Channel. Much like popular UK shows “Never Mind the Buzzcocks” and “8 out of 10 Cats”, “Too Much Information” is a true battle of wits. In each episode, two teams (each team consisting of 3 guest Comedic Panelists) are steered and moderated by Host, Norm Sousa. Equal parts silly, witty, titillating and crass, “Too Much Information” lets the audience eavesdrop in on a conversation and battle of wits between 6 distinct but equally strong and hilarious comic minds. “We are really excited to be bringing such a unique comedic series to our subscribers,” said Julie Di Cresce, Director of Canadian Programming for Super Channel. “The format is unlike anything currently available on Super Channel, but the no-holds-barred comedic content is going to be perfectly at home in a premium cable space." Overseen by Series Producer, Greg Lawrence, this hilarious new series showcases a diverse mix of over 25 Comedic Panelists who change from episode to episode. Even though the panel changes, the funny remains constant. Panelists include the cream of Canadian comedy including: Carla Collins, Mark Forward, Stewart Francis, Geri Hall, Dave Merheje, Dave Merry, Naomi Snieckus, Ron Sparks and Pat Thornton.
