The Canada Council for the Arts is responsible for administering and promoting the Governor General’s Literary Awards. The awards recognize Canada’s best English-language and French-language books in seven categories and encourage Canadians to read Canadian literature.
Lists of finalists and winning books from previous years are available on the Canada Council for the Arts website.
Also included in the book display are the longlist, shortlist, and winner of the 2021 Scotiabank Giller Prize. The Scotiabank Giller Prize is awarded annually to the author of the best Canadian novel or short story collection published in English.
