Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

Copyright : 2012, Resource Links Contemporary Canadian Adult Books for Strong Teen Readers by Margaret Mackey with Gail de Vos, Heather Ganshorn, Ingrid Johnston, Jill Kedersha McClay, and Kristine Moruzi With this column, our eighteenth in an ongoing annual series, we present our pick of contemporary Canadian adult publishing that we believe has the potential to appeal to strong teenage readers. We began this work in 1996 believing that good teen readers were seriously under-served when it came to reading advice. Where should they go when they begin to come to the end of the road with young adult literature (as wonderful as much of that literature undoubtedly is)? Who provides guidance on the kinds of adult materials that might speak to a teenager? We saw a vacuum, and we have made efforts to step into that empty space ever since. As usual, our main selection criterion is that the book should have some kind of youth appeal. Middle-age crises need not apply to appear on these pages. We do not screen for strong language or graphic sex or violence; we assume that a confident teenage reader will not hesitate to put down a book if it does not appeal, for whatever reason.
  • Canadian Jewish Writing Rebecca Margolis

    Canadian Jewish Writing Rebecca Margolis

    2 1 Across the Border: Canadian Jewish Writing Rebecca Margolis Canadian Jewish literature has often been compared to its U.S. counterpart, for both geographic and cultural reasons. The two countries share a vast bor- der, are former English colonies with a continual use of that language, and have signifi cant immigrant populations. The two countries absorbed signif- icant numbers of Jewish immigrants, including a mass Eastern European immigration that was Yiddish speaking and working class. The comparison between the two countries should be natural, at least from a Canadian per- spective. However, rather than being a mini–United States, Canada has pro- duced a literature that has evolved its own very distinctive set of defi ning characteristics. Further, the dominating presence of the United States and its overshadowing infl uence on Canada in terms of literature, theater, lm,fi and music are indisputable, and Canadian culture is oft subsumed into the larger category of “American.” Canada’s Jewish writers are confl ated with U.S. writ- ers or neglected altogether . Michael Greenstein’s study Third Solitudes sug- gests marginality as a key feature of Jewish Canadian literature. 1 Intertwining historical realities have informed Canada’s cultural identity and the literature that its Jewish writers have produced. The ideological foun- dation of the country is a French-English bilingualism that dates to its roots as a European colony, and the dynamics of that uneasy duality have permeated the country’s cultural development. Unlike the United States, Canada was not born out of revolution and rejection of the British Empire that dominated it.

The Greenwood Centre for Living History is celebrating sixteen years this season. We continue to flourish and find new initiatives, thanks to our wonderful Board and volun - teers. We are proud of what we have accomplished over the last few years, and have some exciting plans for this season. Our theme, Conservation and Preservation: A Future for Our Past will be introduced at our Annual General Meeting on Sunday, April 28th. A brief business meeting will be followed by a guest speaker. The Kitchen Ceilidh will once again welcome you with their special sound, and, of course, there will be cake! Please join us! Heather Darche, our guest speaker, is in charge of a QAHN project entitled “ 100 Significant Objects ”. Museums, historical societies and other community organizations such as ourselves throughout Quebec have submitted stories about 100 objects that collectively create an online portrait of the culture of Quebec’s diverse English speaking communities, past and present. Greenwood’s contribution to this project is the wedding dress of Mary Cecelia Delesderniers, which she wore when she was married to Robert Ward Shepherd at St. James Church in 1847. Heather will show photos of some of these special “100 Significant Objects”, and talk about their place in our history. It promises to be a very interesting afternoon.
