The students and staff of Langley Fine Arts School were fortunate to host Lawrence Hill for the “Arts Matter” series on October 9th 2015. A best-selling Canadian author, the Commonwealth Writers Prize award winner and Order of Canada recipient, recently released his latest novel, The Illegal, in 2015. Those at LFAS were grateful to host him and to have learned from his unique writing perspective and outlook on the arts.

He worked with students interested in writing and in the afternoon he held lectures school-wide. A second lecture was held that evening, open to the public where Hill discussed his books and writing and later answered  questions from the audience. This day won’t be soon forgotten, and neither will the influence he left on our school.

Congratulations to Lawrence Hill who was recently appointed to Canada’s Walk of Fame.
