Vancouver-born poet Gary Geddes has been named the recipient of the fifth annual Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence.

The award, worth $5,000, will be presented this Saturday (April 26) by Lt.-Gov. Steven Point, as part of the BC Book Prizes gala at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel in Vancouver.
