Canadian authors
http://www.cwill.bc.ca/www.bookcentre.cahttp://www.canscaip.org/members.htmlInstead of listing individual Canadian authors, would it be prudent to suggest looking for specific author/illustrators websites using google/yahoo/ etc.?
Maple leavesA royalty-free site - Canada, Eh? has maple leaves that we can use. Another idea for schools might be to do a COUNTDOWN TO VANCOUVER-WHISTLER 2010. The VANOC website has the number of days to the lighting of the flame.Maybe an announcement every week with the theme 'We're getting Ready for Vancouver-Whistler 2010 by Reading Canadian' 'Discover a Canadian author' 'Read Canadian' 'Oh Canada' might be a suggestion
