The awards program honours excellence and innovation throughout Alberta’s book publishing industry. Recognizing the exceptional work of Alberta publishers will spread to readers across the province and draw attention to the range and quality of the books published in Alberta. This year Alberta publishers submitted over 90 books across 14 different categories. We sincerely thank everyone who has made, and continues to make, this celebration possible. The Book Publishers Association of Alberta was founded in 1975 to support the development of a thriving provincial publishing industry, away from Canada’s traditional book publishing centres. One of the strongest communities of regional publishers in North America today, the BPAA counts nearly 30 member companies, most of which are owned and operated in Alberta.

Born in Edmonton on June 24th, 1932, Hurtig’s earliest ambition was to own and operate his own bookstore. Opened in 1956, Hurtig Books was the first of its kind in Western Canada, and grew to include three locations, specializing in the energetic and creative promotion of books that garnered praise across the country. Through this venture, Hurtig came to understand the need for more pertinent books about Alberta and Canada, written by Canadians, for Canadians. In 1972, he sold Hurtig Books [becoming Audrey’s] in order to concentrate his efforts in publish- ing. Hurtig Publishers was the force behind dozens of best-selling titles in the 1970s and 1980s, thanks to bold selections and creative promotions that twice garnered Hurtig the Canadian Book Publisher of the Year Award from the Canadian Booksellers Association. In 1985, Hurtig Publishers released its landmark publication, The Canadian Encyclopedia, selling almost 500,000 copies in its first run. This would be the largest publishing endeavor in the history of Canadian publishing. In the early 90s, Hurtig sold his publishing company to McClelland & Stewart and began a successful writing career. Over the course of twenty years he wrote of social justice issues and Canadian nationalism. His book, The Betrayal of Canada, was the best-selling non-fiction book of 1991. Subsequent titles were all best-sellers. From bookseller to publisher to author, Mel Hurtig’s life was steeped in his love for his country and books. He was awarded throughout his career with honours including, an appointment as an Officer of the Order of Canada, six honourary doctorates, and the Lester B. Pearson Man of the Year Peace Award. In 2005, Mel left his beloved Alberta to move closer to family. He died on August 3rd, 2016, at the age of 84, leaving a legacy of outspoken nationalism and the championing of Canadian books. It is an honour to recognize the many contributions that Mel Hurtig has made to the book world in Alberta and Canada with the naming of the Mel Hurtig Alberta Book Publisher of the Year Award..

  • Corporate Media Consolidation and the Distortion of Democracy
    Corporate Media Consolidation and the Distortion of Democracy Conversations with Mel Hurtig and Tracy Rosenberg. Global Research News Hour Episode 105 By Michael Welch, Mel Hurtig, and Kéllia Ramares Region: Canada, USA Global Research, May 25, 2015 Theme: GLOBAL RESEARCH NEWS HOUR, Media Disinformation “Five giant corporations control 90 percent of US mass media. And direct links connect all five of these media conglomerates to the political establishment and the economic and political power-elites of the United States.” [1] -Eric Sommer “My own experience at competitive newspapers in Montreal, Winnipeg, and Toronto from the 1950s through the 1970s, and that of the majority of my colleagues, convinced us that competition was the sine qua non of a responsive and responsible press. And as competition lessened, more and more journalists found themselves muzzled.” -Peter Desbarats, of the University of Western Ontario. As quoted in The Truth about Canada [2] LISTEN TO THE SHOW Length (59:19) Click to download the audio (MP3 format) The planned merger between two of America’s largest media companies, Comcast Corp and Time-Warner Cable, was successfully scuttled in April when Comcast withdrew its acquisition bid. Announced in February of 2014, the $45.2 billion dollar deal wasrunning into opposition from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as well as from public and consumer- advocacy groups and the broader public. In a parallel development, across the border in Canada, the Competition Bureau of Canada, the country’s competition regulator, gave the go-ahead for Canadian media-giant Postmedia Network Inc. to purchase Quebecor’s Sun Media assets, including its 175 English language newspapers, at a cost of $316 million dollars (Canadian).

  • Living with the First World War, 1914-1919: History As Personal Experience
    Living with the First World War, 1914-1919: History as Personal Experience DESMOND MORTON* AS AN ACADEMIC historian, I could have pursued a variety of possibly fascinating topics. How about municipal sewers across the world and their impact on human longevity? Or domestic pets and the changing patterns of species acceptance since the 1800s? Instead, to the astonishment of some and through encouragement from others, I was attracted by what contemporaries described, with some justice, as “The Great War.” In my own life, its impact was easily surpassed by the Second World War. Canada entered that war precisely on my fourth birthday. My father, one of Canada’s few professional soldiers, promptly left Calgary for Edmonton to open recruiting. He told us much later that most of the early volunteers had been strongly advised by their parents to join the Medical Corps. In 1941, my dad went overseas with his regiment, leaving his wife and children to live with her parents in the affluent little village of Rothesay. My grandfather, Harry Frink, was a prosperous insurance agent in Saint John, New Brunswick, where his Loyalist New York ancestors had made their home. He celebrated their Loyalist roots. Shortly before D-Day, my dad wrote me what he imagined could be his last contact with his only son. Eventually he did return, though many in his armoured regiment did not. That letter helped me understand what war really means to its survivors and its victims. Seldom does it include grandeur or glory. The First World War happened long before I was born, though its images, recorded in the wartime version of the Illustrated London News, filled a bookshelf that took up half the length of the hallway of our converted H-Hut home in postwar Regina.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

Calgary Arts Development believes that stronger arts make a better city and believe that programs like the Calgary Poet Laureate provide access and opportunity for all Calgarians to experience the rich talents of our artist citizens . The Poet Laureate is an honorary position and an ambassador for Calgary's creative capacity and ingenuity to those in our city and beyond. The Laneway Naming Project proposed by Derek is a wonderful initiative that elevates writers of prominence in the Canadian literary field to be celebrated in the city where they lived and created their written work . The Poet Laureate program is funded by private sector partners, whose generous contributions provide the position's honorarium and funds for each Poet Laureate to pursue a legacy project. Calgary Arts Development administers the Poet Laureate funds and will be responsible for covering all costs associated with the creation and installation of signage for the proposed laneways.
