Holiday Season Story Contest
Contest Open from November 12 - December 9th, 2024
For most of us, the holidays are the candle that keeps the darkness at bay over the long, harsh Canadian winter. Family, food, and festivities give us a chance to rest, rejoice, and reinvigorate ourselves for another two (or five…) months of chilly weather. Share with us your take of the holiday season, and perhaps you’ll find more than just coal in your stocking!
