Lorimer seeks contributions for a book 'Remembering Jack'

In 2012, James Lorimer and Company will publish Remembering Jack, a book of stories about Jack Layton written by his friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances. If you have a story about Jack that you'd like to share with others, we would love to hear from you.

Please note that we are not looking for eulogies, but actual anecdotes involving Jack. Submissions should not exceed 1,500 words. Contributors whose work is selected for publication will receive a free copy of the finished book.

Submissions should be sent to rememberingjack@lorimer.ca by November 20.

Royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to The Broadbent Institute.
