The Al Purdy A-Frame Association just released its 2025 Annual Report.
It contains both a review of the organization’s work to nurture the country’s poets, and also sentences like “Geotechnical and hydrological studies revealed that the existing
crawlspace floor was below the water table.”
I recommend reading it while listening to The Al Purdy Songbook, a 2018 album featuring tracks from Bruce Cockburn, Margaret Atwood, Leonard Cohen, and Gord Downie among others. It may be the most poetically Canadian thing ever.
You can contribute to the Al Purdy A-Frame Association on CanadaHelps.org.
