Wilde about Sappho—Celebrating Lambda Scholarship Foundation Canada’s 40th Anniversary
After a sixteen-year run that concluded in 2007, Wilde About Sappho—Lambda’s pioneering 2SLGBTQIA+ literary gala—returns for one special afternoon to mark Lambda Foundation’s 40th Anniversary as part of ChromaQueer, Ottawa’s new Queer Film + Arts Festival.
We are celebrating 40 years of queer literature, education, and research. Please join us at 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 9th, at the Arts Court Theatre to honour the voices that shaped our early years and celebrate the national scholarship programs that have grown from that legacy.
The writers headlining Wilde About Sappho in 2025 are John Barton, Donna Sharkey, H. Nigel Thomas, and Eli Tareq El-Bechelany Lynch.
Together again this November, let’s honour Lambda’s literary beginnings as we share our new plans for awards and scholarships to continue empowering Canadian 2SLGBTQIA+ and QTBIPOC communities.
