Selkirk College is launching the third-annual Selkirk Reads!
Loosely based on Canada Reads, in which five notable Canadians champion a book they feel every Canadian should read, Selkirk Reads! aims to highlight Indigenous authors, voices and stories to help lead us toward greater understanding, truth and reconciliation.
Become a Book Champion
Champions will select a book highlighting Indigenous voices, introduce the book to the Selkirk College community and invite people to join a reading circle.
Reading circles will meet once to discuss the book. Circles are open to those who have read the book and those interested in the subject matter. Students, employees and community members are all invited to take part.
Selkirk Reads! Long List
Browse the long list and choose a book to champion. If you would like to champion a book that's not on the list, that's okay too! Just let us know the title and author.
If you are interested in becoming a book champion, please contact Jennie Barron before Wednesday, September 17, with the title of the book you would like to champion.
Everyone's a Winner
In late November, Selkirk Reads! will host an event where each book champion will present their book. Everyone’s a winner! The goal is to support each other to stretch and keep learning together as we build a more inclusive, compassionate and just society.
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
