New Westminster poet laureate earns another honour

New Westminster’s poet lau­re­ate has a new title to add to her resume.

Can­dice James has been appointed a direc­tor of the Fed­er­a­tion of British Colum­bia Writ­ers.

The fed­er­a­tion is a not-for-profit orga­ni­za­tion estab­lished in 1976 to con­tribute to a sup­port­ive envi­ron­ment for writ­ing in the province. It’s one of the largest writ­ing fed­er­a­tions in the coun­try and serves as the voice of writ­ers in B.C.
