Update on the 2014 Scotiabank Giller Prize Gala

October 27, 2014

As our broadcast partner, it is up to the CBC to select a Scotiabank Giller Prize gala host. We respect that decision, and that is the decision we communicated via social media yesterday (Sunday, October 26) in response to inquiries.

We all recognize fans and followers are feeling dismay and confusion. We thank those who have offered supportive words to the Giller Prize as we work to bring our occasion back to a focus on celebrating Canadian literature and our six authors shortlisted for this year's prize. We will share our further updates and those of our partners as they become available.

On October 27, 2014, Rick Mercer is to host the 2014 Giller Prize gala.
