📣 Calling all book lovers, publishing professionals, and champions of Canadian writing: we need your help!

In the most recent mandate letter from the Prime Minister, the Minister of Canadian Heritage was directed to increase the Canada Book Fund budget by 50% in the 2022-23 fiscal year. This mandate letter commitment has not been fulfilled by the government during the last two federal budgets. The Government must not let down the book publishing industry yet again.

We are asking for your support to help ensure that the government fulfills this commitment to the publishing sector in Budget 2024. Please take 30 seconds to send a letter to your MP to help maintain a thriving Canadian publishing ecosystem. Make your voice heard! https://act.newmode.net/action/increase-canada-book-fund

With the support of Creative Saskatchewan’s book publishing grant, Patricia Deiter McArthur was able to bring her latest project, Nehiyawewin awasi-masinahikanis: A Little Plains Cree Language Book for Children, to life. https://buff.ly/3TDx83b

“Following the themes of the Saskatchewan Curriculum Guide for Kindergarten to Grade 12 on Aboriginal Languages, the content focuses on terms familiar to the First Nations Cree people of Saskatchewan…Our hope is to encourage a basic understanding of the language so that learners are able to converse with Plains Cree speakers. The best path to fluency in the Plains Cree language is immersion, but learning one word at a time is a good place to start!” 🧡

📅Stay tuned for announcements on our Book Publishing grant in April 2024!
