The Mayor's Poetry City Challenge

The Mayor’s Poetry City Challenge project encourages municipal councils across Canada to take a few minutes in their Council meetings in March or April 2012 to recognize the poets in their communities, the contribution of poetry to the arts in Canada, the enormous contribution small publishers to the history and cultural development of Canada. Poetry City will be coordinated with programs to promote reading, writing and study activities in schools, universities and community venues during National Poetry Month. The Poetry City project is led by the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild (SWG) in partnership with the League of Canadian Poets.
