Writer-in-Residence Exchange

Every year, the University of Calgary and University of Alberta exchange writers-in-residence, with each writer travelling to the other university to appear at free, public events and enrich the literary environment of both cities.

In March 2024, Wayne Arthurson will visit the University of Calgary.
