Happy 150th Birthday, L.M. Montgomery!
2024 marks the 150th anniversary of Montgomery’s birth, and the L.M. Montgomery Institute is broadcasting 150 special tributes to Montgomery over the course of the year, culminating in a huge celebration on Montgomery’s actual birthday, November 30th.
To mark the 31st anniversary of the launching of the L.M. Montgomery Institute in April of 1993, the LMMI invited me (founder of the LMMI), the Chair of the L.M. Montgomery Institute management committee (Philip Smith), a former committee member and long-time Montgomery enthusiast (Rosemary Herbert), and former Senator and Premier Catherine Callbeck (who supported the launching) to offer our tributes to and about Montgomery. https://journaloflmmontgomerystudies.ca/news/Maud150/Anniversary-LMMI-Launch
All of the tributes will be posted here: https://journaloflmmontgomerystudies.ca/maud150
