Canadian author Sonja Larsen will receive the award for her memoir, Red Star Tattoo: My Life as a Girl Revolutionary (Random House Canada).

Students are invited to RSVP to the following events:
Larsen’s book will be available for purchase at both events.
The Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction was established and endowed in 1991 by writer and award-winning journalist Edna Staebler. Laurier is the only Canadian university to grant a nationally recognized literary award. The $10,000 award encourages and recognizes Canadian writers for a first or second work of creative non-fiction that includes a Canadian locale and/or significance.
