Margaret Avison

Died in 2007

Margaret Avison (1918-2007), born in Galt, Ontario, a minister's daughter, grew up in Regina and then Calgary before returning to study at Victoria College in Toronto. A librarian, lecturer and writer in residence, she also worked in the archives of the public radio and in missions in downtown Toronto, at Evangel Hall and then the Mustard Seed Mission. Her conversion to Christianity in 1963 turned her work towards faith. Honoured again in 1990 for another collection, then with the Griffin Prize in 2003, she died in Toronto.
