In Alberta, a ‘Book Club with Clout’ would be The Banff Book Discussion Weekend. Its genesis was Brian Thompson’s 1953 book discussion group at the Calgary Public Library, spun off to the U of C in 1961 and led by Mac Coleman and Mac Moir. They wisely decided a weekend of discussion within the beauty of the mountains would be ideal. Thus started the longest-running program at the Banff Centre, now in its 60th year.
