CANSCAIP Monthly Membership Meeting - Apr 8 at 7pm ET

Join Kevin Sylvester, Heather Camlot, Eric Zweig and Jean Mills as they discuss why they use sports in their writing … and why they love sports so darn much.
Books that include sports provide a starting point, a backdrop, a side-plot to educate, enlighten and entertain. They can help to engage kids who might not otherwise be interested in reading or history.
