Vancouver Writers Fest presents The City of Vancouver Book Awards Ceremony, with finalists Meghan Bell (for Erase and Rewind); Henry Doyle; Karen Duffek, Bill McLennan, and Jordan Wilson; Grace Eiko Thomson; and Paul Wong, Debbie Cheung, and Christopher Lee.

This year’s Vancouver Book Awards will be hosted at the Fest, and you won’t want to miss this afternoon of literary wonder. The program will include live readings from the shortlisted authors, a poetry reading from Vancouver Poet Laureate, Fiona Tinwei Lam, and the announcement of the 2022 Book Award Winner. The annual City of Vancouver Book Award has been recognizing authors of excellence of any genre since 1989. The shortlisted and winning titles contribute to the appreciation and understanding of Vancouver’s diversity, history, unique character, or the achievements of its residents. Hosted by Sandra Singh.
