This year’s conference was a great success! A huge thank you to all those involved, especially Heather McAlpine and Ryan Stephenson for organizing the conference, Mary Elizabeth Leighton and Lisa Surridge for running the writing workshop, the conference assistant Taylor Stone, Kylee-Anne Hingston (who helped design the swag on the left), and all the local volunteers.

The conference was generously supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Douglas College, the University of the Fraser Valley (Research and Graduate Studies Office and the Office of the Dean of Arts), and VSAWC.
