Andris Taskans Memorial
Donation protected
Andris Taskans, the editor and founder of Prairie Fire magazine, died suddenly on Friday.
Andris was a writer, editor, and avid gardener. He was a mentor to so many people in Manitoba's publishing community and, in addition to Prairie Fire, was a founder of the Winnipeg International Writers Festival and the Manitoba Writers Guild.
Andris gave so much of his time and himself to create a home for the work of so many writers across Canada. Now is our opportunity to give something back. Help us to support his family through this difficult time by making a contribution, big or small, in his memory.
