Upcoming events:
SuperCanucks Book Launch
Date: Saturday, March 21, 2026
Time: 1 pm to 3 pm
Location: Main Branch of the Greater Sudbury Public Library, 74 Mackenzie Street, Sudbury, Ontario
Join us for the launch of SuperCanucks: An anthology of Canadian small-town superheroes.
SuperCanucks features eleven stories that explore the usual superhero tropes while shining a spotlight on the unique corners of Canada. Not your typical big city superheroes, but those who live in and around Canada’s more often overlooked locales—isolated small towns and rural outposts. These heroes battle unique Canadian dangers, including government bureaucracy and the overreaching neighbours in the south.
Listen to anthology editors Matthew D. Del Papa and Andy W. Taylor share the reasons they chose these unique stories, and we will have a few contributors on hand to read their own stories.
Books can be purchased, or borrowed from the library.
Light refreshments will be served.
