    Gail Bowen

    Gail Bowen (SOM), novelist (born 22 September 1942 in Toronto, ON; died 25 June 2026 in Regina, SK). Gail Bowen grew up in Toronto, where she claims she learned to read from the tombstones in Prospect Cemetery. This early fascination with death perhaps foretold her vocation as the author of the best-selling Joanne Kilbourn mystery series. Bowen also worked as an arts columnist on CBC Radio in Regina and taught for many years at the First Nations University of Canada. She is also a prolific playwright. She was named Canada's Best Mystery Novelist by Reader’s Digest in 2008 and received the Derrick Murdoch Award from the Crime Writers of Canada in 2009. She received the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 2018.

    Gar Smith

    Gar Smith, artist, photographer (born 1946 in Toronto, ON). Gar Smith’s career as an artist occurred within a colourful and prolific 20-year period between 1968 and 1988. For those two decades, he made searching and stridently virtuoso art that included groundbreaking photography (Noon, 1968; Notes on Light, 1969–70; Avenir, 1973), camera-less photography (Earth Stars, Future Markets, 1978), and sculptures of bells (I Give Bliss, I Give Warning, 1985). His final bell work was made for the Canadian embassy building in Tokyo in 1988. Then, rather curiously, Smith ceased making any more art.
