Winners of this year’s Aurora Awards were announced Saturday August 15, via live video as part of the When Words Collide (WWC) convention.
The awards ceremony went online this year along with WWC in response to Covid-19. While we didn’t get the in-person magic of a banquet hall, these achievements are certainly every bit as impressive this year. And SF Canada members were well-represented winning both awards and a hall of fame induction.
Susan Forest won Best YA novel for Bursts of Fire. Diane L. Walton won Best Related Work for On Spec Magazine. R. Graeme Cameron won Best Fan Writing and Publication for Polar Borealis, Issues #9 through #12. And Marie Bilodeau co-won Best Fan Organizational for Can*Con.
Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association’s (CSFFA) Hall of Fame inductions included Cory Doctorow.
Huge congratulations to all the winners and nominees this year! And extra thanks to our own Mark Leslie Lefebvre for emceeing the event.
