Benefits to Author and Regina Community
History of RPL and Canada Council for the Arts WIR RPL has offered this very valuable program to the Regina community on an annual basis from 1978 to 1991, through a 50 percent funding grant from the Canada Council. When budget restraints forced Canada Council to withdraw funding, RPL began to fully fund the program every other year. While Regina Public Library administered and funded the program independently we continued to follow established Canada Council guidelines in order to maintain the program's continuity and credibility.
