Respected Toronto-based poet, dramatist, novelist and professor George Elliott Clarke has been appointed by City Council as Toronto's fourth Poet Laureate.
"George Elliott Clarke will enrich the Poet Laureate position with his many talents and accomplishments," said Councillor Michael Thompson (Ward 37 Scarborough Centre), Chair of the City's Economic Development Committee. "In addition to the accolades he has received as a poet and playwright, his dedication to education and his tremendous support of Canadian writers and the literary community has been nationally recognized by his appointment as an Officer of the Order of Canada."
Today City Council supported Councillor Paula Fletcher's motion to endorse the nomination of Malala Yousafzai for a Nobel Peace Prize. On October 9, 2012 Malala was shot by the Taliban while riding the school bus. Her courage as a tireless advocate for girls' education in the face of threats and violence is remarkable, and supporters around the world are calling for the Nobel Committee to award Malala the Peace Prize.
