Three new awards established at 13th biennial L.M. Montgomery Institute conference
The 13th biennial conference of the L.M. Montgomery Institute (LMMI) established three new awards to honour special contributions to the mission of the institute.
The L.M. Montgomery Institute Legacy Award is presented for outstanding lifetime contributions in building Montgomery scholarship and/or public engagement. The inaugural recipient of this awards are Dr. Elizabeth Waterson, Dr. Mary Rubio, Jennie Macneill and the late John Macneill. The Reverend Dr. Francis W.P. Bolger Award recognizes outstanding contributions to our appreciation of Montgomery and place in Prince Edward Island, through scholarship, education, preservation, creative works, or by other means. The award went this year to the Lucy Maud Montgomery Birthplace Trust. The Dr. Elizabeth R. Epperly Award for Outstanding Early Career Paper was presented to Bonnie Tulloch for her paper “Canadian Anne-girls: Literary Descendants of Montgomery’s Redheaded Heroine.”
