The 2011 IFOA Ontario touring programme may be over for this year, but we will continue to relive the wonderful memories with photo highlights from each event!

Below are photos from Books & Brunch with author Shilpi Somaya Gowda and journalist Paula Todd at IFOA Uxbridge on Saturday, October 21, 2011.

It’s no surprise that so many 2011 IFOA Ontario authors were selected as part of Amazon.ca’s Best Books of 2011: Top 100 Editors’ Picks including, Michael Christie, Lynn Coady, Anne Enright, Dany Laferrière and countless more.

Congrats to Patrick deWitt and Joshua Knelman for making the top 10!

We were lucky to have TVO as IFOA Ontario’s exclusive broadcast sponsor this year. We could not be more thrilled with this partnership and we look forward to more collaboration in the future!

TVOParents host, and voracious reader, Cheryl Jackson was happy to travel to Thunder Bay, Barrie and Owen Sound not only to emcee the readings, but to get a chance to sit down and interview some of the authors.
