Creative non-fiction short stories by new writers for new writers that explore the individual community.

From children's secret games in Antigua to canoeing with Voyageurs, from a frat house in Ontario to Sacred Circle Dance, from Afghani and Ukranian Canadians in Toronto to a busload of Sri Lankan Canadians in Egypt, the writers grant readers quasi-membership into their communities.

Written and edited by members of the Professional Writing and Communications community at University of Toronto, Mississauga.
