Men in Stripes -- Canadian Writers' Summit at Harbourfront

Last week in Toronto, three networking buddies find they're wearing similar shirts. Left is writer-broadcaster Scott Overton of Sudbury, next is fiction and non-fiction writer Matt Bin of Metro Toronto. Novelist Bob Mackay of White Rock is on the right.

All three look happy to be meeting their word-loving friends before the Book Summit kicked off the Canadian Writers' Summit last week at Harbourfront Centre. All belong to Canadian Authors. A group with the practical motto "Writers helping writers," we're proud to claim the hilarious Stephen Leacock as a founding member. Established in 1921, the Association is approaching its hundredth birthday.
