Congratulations to the Libris and Lifetime Achievement Award Winners!

Canadian Booksellers honour Alice Munro and Jack Rabinovitch and celebrate our book industry’s best

The excitement was high at this year’s Canadian Booksellers Association (CBA) and Retail Council of Canada (RCC) Libris Awards as the book industry gathered to celebrate the people who deliver great books to Canadian readers.  The 2013 CBA Libris Awards were announced on Monday June 3, at the Toronto Congress Centre, in a gala event hosted by bestselling author Terry Fallis. 

The Libris Awards are nominated and voted on by members of the Canadian bookselling community and honour outstanding achievement by authors and editors, sales reps and distributors, booksellers and publishers.

To View the Press Release:

GREAT VICTORY FOR OUR INDUSTRY

CBA and RCC have been lobbying on behalf of all merchants for many years to ensure that government officials, media and the public understood the reasons behind some of the price gaps between products sold in Canada and the United States.

Key recommendations including the elimination of import tariffs, the need to better harmonization regulations between both countries, the need to eliminate taxes on Canadian books are all highlighted in the report.

In addition, thanks to the support of many of our members, CBA and RCC were successful in shining the light on country pricing and how this practice often impacts the price of goods in Canada.

Thank you for your support - We will now be asking the Federal Government to reflect key recommendations in its upcoming 2013 Budget.
