WTC contacted Bill Molesworth at the Midland Public Library this week.
from some of that communication:
“the Writers’ Trust is applying to the Ontario Arts Council for a grant to fund a series of workshops facilitated by professional writers in small communities across Ontario. The workshops will be held in late spring 2010 in local library branches and will be free to the public. The Writers’ Trust will assume responsibility for securing a local writer to act as facilitator with, of course, feedback from you regarding who you’d like to host at your library. We will also be responsible for promoting the workshop and registering participants.”
The MAWG will support the workshop, not quite sure in what specific ways but it seems like it might be a very good thing for local writers for a workshop of this kind to come to Midland.
