In the words of
Margaret Atwood: “Never throw out a piece of bendy wire. You don’t know when you might need it.”
The legendary author was speaking about the importance of hanging onto things (they may one day become valuable to you) as one of the 2020 recipients of a Library and Archives Canada Scholars Award. The virtual event, live-streamed Wednesday night via YouTube, was presented by Library and Archives Canada and the LAC Foundation, in partnership with Air Canada.
The 30-minute ceremony, held in both official languages, was hosted by
Leslie Weir, who took over as librarian and archivist of Canada in late August 2019, and by
Louise Bernice Halfe, Canisia Lubrin and Steven Heighton to judge 2021 CBC Poetry Prize
