As you know from our big Trillium Contest running until March 28th, Ontario’s Trillium Book Award, which honours literary excellence by our province’s authors and their books, turns 25 this year. To celebrate this landmark anniversary, the Ontario Media Development Corporation (OMDC) and yours truly, Open Book, are delighted to present a special Trillium 25th Anniversary Reading Series featuring an amazing roster of Trillium winners.
We hope you will be able to join us and the fabulous group of authors that will be participating. Three readings will take place in Toronto at The Gladstone Hotel, in the Ballroom. We are also hosting a Prix Trillium Author Reading in Ottawa by several of the previous French language winners of the Award; this event will take place at the Ottawa’s Arts Court, in the Theatre.
