An Evening with the Finalists of the BC and Yukon Book Prizes ft. Leanne Dunic, Minelle Mahtani, and Shashi Bhat
Join us on Thursday, June 5 at 6:30 p.m. to celebrate the finalists of the 2025 BC and Yukon Book Prizes! We’ll hear readings from shortlisted authors Shashi Bhat, Leanne Dunic and Minelle Mahtani, and toast the wonderful writerly talent this region has to offer.
The BC and Yukon Book Prizes, established in 1985, celebrate the achievements of British Columbia and Yukon writers, illustrators and publishers. Find the full 2025 shortlist here. The winners will be announced at a gala in September later this year.
Tickets are free, but please RSVP here for your space, as capacity is limited. Thank you for supporting our local authors!
