Congratulations to the winners of the McEntyre Writing Competition

The 45 winners of the McEntyre Writing Competition were celebrated at a ceremony at Victoria Hall last night in the presence of the Mayor, members of City Council and representatives from the Westmount Library.

Students at the elementary and secondary level, either attending school or residing in Westmount, participated in large numbers in this year’s competition. Writing on the theme of exploration, there was no shortage of creativity in their poems, short stories and essays. Three winners and one honorable mention were selected from the submissions at each grade level. Discover all the winners on the Library’s website where you can also view collections of winning entries from previous years.

The McEntyre Literary Competition is presented annually by the Westmount Library and was launched by former Mayor Peter McEntyre (1969-1971) to encourage creative writing and foster community spirit.
