How Are Membership Fees Used?
Fees help defray costs for applications for funding from the League of Canadian Poets and The Writers’ Union of Canada.
They contribute to the costs of the WordStorm Spoken Word Series.
Fees provide modest honoraria for readers and performers who have no alternate means of funding.
Fees enable The Wordstorm Society of the Arts to be considered for future funding from government at
various levels, and to qualify for sponsorship from local corporations.
