Dear Editor:
On behalf of the board, staff and volunteers of the Eden Mills Writers’ Festival, we extend our heartfelt thanks for your support of this year’s festival.
A special thanks goes to our incredible volunteers and the Eden Mills community for warmly hosting and caring for the festival and its attendees.
We are deeply grateful to our monthly donors, online donors, and sponsors. A special shoutout to Sydney Fisher Dawe and the Re/Max Connex Team, our gold sponsor this year. We also extend our thanks to our silver sponsors: The Neighbourhood Group, Penguin Random House Canada, RLB Chartered Professional Accountants, League of Canadian Poets, HarperCollins Canada Ltd., Tracey Morrow and TrilliumWest, and the University of Guelph.
This year’s sponsors made it possible to provide essential elements like golf carts, volunteer and author green room catering, our author’s reception and dinner, and children’s activities.
We are also incredibly thankful for the ongoing support from The Angel Gabriel Foundation, The Emerald Foundation, The Guelph Community Foundation’s Musagetes Fund, and The Bookshelf, whose long-term investment helps sustain our programming.
Lastly, we would like to recognize our granting and government partners: the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Access Copyright Foundation, Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, County of Wellington, and the City of Guelph, whose grants covered our staff and operational costs this year.
Our team is committed to enhancing the festival’s sustainability, with exciting initiatives on the horizon, including a new partnership with The Bookshelf. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you once again for your continued support!
Kristin Morrison,
Festival fundraiser
