Sheila Gale, author Continued from page 19 Characters not afraid of danger Thats So Weird! is grabbing the attention of the Canadian television industry experts once again. The youth television show, co-produced by Oakville resident Gary Pearson, is up for a Gemini Award this year in the category of best childrens or youth fiction program or series. Last year, the show received a nomination for the same award, along with several oth- ers. As one of five producers, Pearson would take home the award if the show wins this year. That's So Weird! has been renewed for a third season. The 26th annual Gemini Awards will take place in Toronto over three nights, with tech- nical and other industry awards handed out Aug. 30 and 31, and the main gala on Sept. 7. It will be broadcast live from the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on CBC. For more information on the awards show, visit www.geminiawards.ca.

The Oakville group is putting on a seminar called Writing for Children and Young Adults on Saturday, Aug. 20 and is inviting people to join the workshop. The workshop is designed for people who want to write a childrens book or who just simply want to write for their own children. People can also bring in a sample of their childrens writing (up to 1,000 words) and get critiqued at the work- shop. Those who have not started writ- ing will get help doing so. The workshop is led by Brian Henry, who has been a book editor for 25 years. The workshop runs from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Oakville Central Library, located at 120 Navy St. Cost to attend is $44 in advance or $48 at the door, if space is available. People are asked to register early, by emailing Henry at brianhenry@sympa- tico.ca or by phoning Sheila Eastman at 905-826-8847.
