gritLIT Next Chapter Committee Presents: Take a Poem, Leave a Poem

  • Bernie Morelli Rec Centre 876 Cannon Street East Hamilton, ON, L8L 8C1 Canada (map)

The gritLIT Next Chapter Committee will provide materials and guidance to capture communal memories. With gritLIT prompts, visitors can collect and share their thoughts, inspired by Frost Bites, Winterfest, and other Hamilton themes, in the form of poems on a “leaf.” They are welcome to peruse the poems left by others. With guidance from a gritLIT Next Chapter Committee member, visitors can bind several “leaves” into a “signature” (mini-booklet) using simple bookbinding techniques. Take the signature as a memento or donate it to the collection of community signatures, contributing to a grassroots story that represents gritLIT and Frost Bites 2026.

This workshop/event is FREE and NO TICKET IS REQUIRED. All workshops and events are offered on a drop-in, first-come first-served basis. Space may be limited.
