Project Bookmark Canada - Inaugural Plaque (Bookmark) Unveiled

Project Bookmark Canada

Bookmark (Plaque) Design Example from Project Bookmark Canada

Miranda Hill, wife of Lawrence Hill, the author of the bestselling novel The Book of Negroes, dreams of the day when Canadians can read their way from one coast to the other.  As Executive Director of Project Bookmark Canada, she plans to make this dream a reality by placing plaques containing literary excerpts in specific geographic locations related to those works.

City of Toronto Mayor, David Miller joined author Michael Ondaatje yesterday to unveil the first plaque at the east end of the Bloor Street Viaduct.  This inaugural bookmark contains a passage from Hill’s In the Skin of a Lion which tells the story of  the construction of the Bloor Street Viaduct.

Project Bookmark Canada is a registered Canadian charity.  More information about Project Bookmark Canada and how you can help,  is available on their website.
