Poetry Contest Winners!

Our contest judges spent many hours deliberating over the entries. It seemed that this was one of our most difficult contests to judge. Though entries were fewer than expected, there were many excellent poems among those submitted. It's unfortunate that not every deserving entrant can win a prize.

As soon as the winning poems are prepared and ready for posting, we'll make them available for reading.

Congratulations to all entrants. Because July 1 and July 2 are bank holidays in Canada, prizes will be mailed on July 3.
