Welcome

An independent, non-profit organization, the Writers’ Chapel Trust serves to remember, recognize and celebrate the writers of Canada ’s past. Each autumn, the Trust installs a bronze plaque honouring an individual writer in the Writers’ Chapel of St James the Apostle Anglican Church (corner St. Catherine and Bishop streets). Established in 2011, the roots of the Writers’ Chapel Trust stretch back to an autumn afternoon two years earlier when a small, intimate group gathered at Montreal’s St. James the Apostle Anglican Church to unveil a plaque in honour of John Glassco. This was followed in 2010 with a plaque honouring A.J.M. Smith. In 2011, poet, professor and lawyer, F. R. Scott, was honoured and in 2012, Hugh MacLennan was honoured with a plaque. In 2013, Gwethalyn Graham, author of Earth and High Heaven will be honoured (Date to be announced).
