Our Meeting Place
The Kanata Writers' Group, or KWG, has been meeting at Hazledean Public Library (see above), every second Wednesday at 7pm, since 1997; meeting start time changed Apr 2007 to 6:45pm. The group is a community activity, open to all local residents. ‘Local', in this context, means as far as people are prepared to travel. There is no membership fee, since, to date, the group has been able to enjoy the facilities of the library free of charge. Membership ranges beyond the boundaries of the old ‘City of Kanata', from Richmond out to Carleton Place and back. And some members as far as British Columbia.
Purpose
The purpose of the group is to encourage the art of literary composition, which is the lifeblood of library activities.
Membership
Membership in the Kanata Writers' Group is informal, all you have to do is show up and keep showing up. And when you first attend, and the group interests you, then supply your email address so that you can be added to the 'minutes of the meeting' email list.
The interests and motivations of the participants vary extensively. The group includes published authors and competition winners, as well as a number of people who write merely for the joy of expressing their ideas in written form. The genres of interest, among the members, are equally varied; including novels, verse, short stories and fiction for children and young adults.
