Canada History Week 2022 takes place from November 21 to 27. This year’s theme is Arts, Culture, and Creators! The week encourages Canadians to reflect upon and engage with Canada’s past.

As in film westerns, the western novel has been revived in newer and unconventional ways in recent years. There has been the rise in popularity of the “weird western”: a hybrid genre which blends elements of the traditional western (a lawless frontier, a hero pit against all odds) with those of other types of fiction such as noir, mystery, horror and science-fiction (namely, the alternate Victorian universe known as steampunk).

Non fiction stories of adventure in Canada and beyond. Many written by women (maybe some men) who have explored the wild places in our world.

Stories and literature to help get the conversation going.
