Student Teacher Candidates from OISE started working in WiER's electronic literary salons on April 30 as part of their Internship Program, reading student works, considering responses with each other, and preparing responses for our conferences. The TCs have started to post in WiER's salons, and will continue through May 30. Please click here for more information about projects currently underway.

WiER's next "new work" interval operates from May 7 to 25. A new salon will open each week during this interval. Of course, revisions and responses are welcome in any of the salons at any time, so please be sure to check back and update, as appropriate.

WiER is happy to announce its collaboration with the National Capital Commission to assist in the creation of a new virtual museum!
The Voices of the Capital project will be an interactive online exhibit where Canadians and visitors can come to learn more about Canada’s Capital. Visitors will read stories and see images about the Capital through different time periods and through different voices. The exhibit is being created by the National Capital Commission (NCC) in partnership with the Virtual Museum of Canada (VMC).
