BelgraveThe news from
This year, the Dorothy
Shoemaker Awards will begin
accepting entries on Friday, Aug.
22 at all participating public
libraries and school boards.
This year marks the 13th
anniversary of the awards, which
began as a Centennial project of the
Kitchener Public Library. They are
named for Miss Dorothy
Shoemaker, the former chief
librarian, who enthusiastically
encouraged aspiring writers
throughout her career and recently
endowed the awards when
government cutbacks threatened
their continuation.
The area of participation for the
awards includes Brant, Bruce,
Dufferin, Grey, Huron, Oxford,
Perth and Wellington Counties, as
well as the Regional Municipality
of Waterloo. The Kitchener Public
Library has established
partnerships with libraries, school
boards and other organizations to
encourage participation by writers
of all ages.
The awards accept submissions
of poetry and prose (to 5,000
words) in three age categories:
Junior (12 years of age and under);
Intermediate (13 to 17 years); and
Senior (18 years and older). A
published author appraises the
entries and selects three winners in
each age category in both poetry
and prose. Winners receive a cash
prize and their work is published in
The Changing Image.
A total of 17 public libraries and
six school boards are participating
in this year's contest. Entry forms
for the Literary Awards and contest
rules will be available through the
Huron County Public Library.
Entries must be submitted by
Friday, Oct. 10. Winners will
receive their awards at a special
presentation at the Kitchener Public
Library on Saturday, Nov. 22.

YOUR SIMPLY MOBILE REP |
'' / To the untold number of Canadians who came to our aid during
this spring s crisis, Manitobans truly owe an enormous debt of
gratitude. Now, as. we rebuild after the Flood of the Century, we are
reminded daily of your incredible outpouring of compassion and support.
In the face of our province’s
largest civil disaster ever, more
than 28,000 Manitobans had
to leave their homes, farms
and businesses. Your donations
of money, food and supplies,
and your many words of
encouragement bolstered
Manitobans’ resolve and
spirit in countless ways.
The spontaneous response of
our fellow Canadians confirms
our faith in a country where
caring and generosity are
hallmarks of our national
community.
'VTtayutefa On behalf of all Manitobans,
I offer my heartfelt thanks.
Gary Filmon
Premier of Manitoba
