The multi-award-winning British writer and journalist Wyl Menmuir receives the Blue Metropolis Planet Literature Prize for his body of work, and in particular The Heart of the Woods and The Draw of the Sea. This prize is awarded to a writer who shows the beauty of the living world, demonstrates its fragility and, in so doing, promotes greater ecological awareness, while affirming the power of literature in the face of reality.

The award ceremony will be preceded by a reading from the winner of the 2026 Blue Metropolis Planet My Love environmental writing contest, made possible through the generous support of the Secrétariat aux relations avec les Québécois d’expression anglaise, the Doggone Foundation, Emily Ormond & Dr. Jean Kavanaugh, Frances Robert, Susan Kruger and GSI Slough Street Properties Inc.
