The Canada Council announced the winners of the Governor General’s Literature Awards today and the winner for Drama is Kevin Loring for Where the Blood Mixes.
Taken by Social Services, and adopted into a family in the city, a daughter returns to her wounded community after many years away. Kevin Loring illuminates the complex aftermath of the residential school system and the circumstances of contemporary Aboriginal history through compelling, sympathetic and humorous characters who live as best they can, with courage and strength.

Hi there! I thought I would drop a short comment given that I’ve spent the better part of the past half hour perusing through your posts. I am continually stunned at the quality of writing that I can find on the web by smacking the “I’m Feeling Lucky” option on Google! Well that is just about everything I’ve got to say! Cheers again and very nice to ‘meet’ you
