Hamilton Association for the Advancement of Literature, Science and Art

The Association's principal activity is the presentation each year of eight free public lectures which are open to anyone interested in attending. One of the public talks, named in recognition of Dr. John Rae, honours Rae's connection to the Canadian landscape by focussing on a topic related to the Canadian North or the spirit of exploration.

In addition, the Association encourages interest among young people in literature and science by providing the following annual awards for local teenagers:
» Maitland Banting Silver Quill Award
» Hamilton Association Young Poet's Award
» da Vinci Science Fair Award
From time to time the Association sponsors a special event, tour or lecture in addition to its regular scheduled events. Such events will be posted on our Special Events page and announced at our talks.
