Across Canada, six communities are planning their WOTS days. If you see "WOTS" in Twitter, Twitterers are talking about Word On The Street, an annual celebration of literacy and the written word. Usually held in late September, readers and writers come together to share their love of books and magazines, participate in workshops, readings, and check out the CanLit book buyer's nirvana of marketplaces.
Details about WOTS in Vancouver, Lethbridge and Saskatoon follow here. I'll post about the other three WOTS later.
