Vicky Metcalf Award
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The Vicky Metcalf Award is awarded to a writer whose body of work has been "inspirational to Canadian youth." It is one of the top awards for Canadian children's writers. The award was named after Vicky Metcalf, a Toronto librarian. The award has been presented annually since 1963.
In 2002, the award was suspended by the Canadian Authors Association, and taken over by the Writers' Trust of Canada.
