Whistler Writer's Festival

The English department has organized a trip for senior students to go to the Whistler Writer's Festival Today. We were fortunate enough to be able to hear Joseph Boyden read from his upcoming novel and hear Katherena Vermette read from her prize winning poetry book "North End Love Songs". It was fascinating to hear about how they get their inspiration for writing and how important it is to incorporate where they are from in their poems and stories.
