1951 Governor General's Awards

The 15th Governor General's Awards for Literary Merit were presented on June 13, 1952 for works of Canadian literature published in 1951.[1] The awards in this period had no monetary prize and were just an honour for the authors.

The 1952 awards also introduced new categories, known as the University of Western Ontario President's Awards, to honour individual short works. The awards were presented in three categories, for short stories, poems and magazine articles.[1]

Although administered separately, the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour also announced its winner at the same ceremony.[1]

gollark: The solution is, of course, to move to wireless literally everything.
gollark: I mean, it's not too bad if your *cable* wears out, but it *is* if the device's does.
gollark: (somehow I wrote microUSB there, oops)
gollark: I'm comparing it to USB-A for point 4.
gollark: <@!111608748027445248> - Too many different things over identical looking physical connectors: a "USB-C" port might support power-delivery *input*, power-delivery *output*, Thunderbolt, two different incompatible kinds of video output, and various speeds from USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen2x2 (whyyy).- The ports on devices can end up wearing out problematically, though I don't know if this is better or worse than on competitors like Lightning or µUSB.- A lot of peripherals still don't support it, though this is hardly *its* fault.- I think the smaller connector means you can't put as much weight on it safely, for bigger USB stick-y devices, though I am not sure about this.
