In 2005, the Giller Light Bash expanded to Winnipeg, thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers. Held at the McNally Robinson Booksellers at Grant Park, the event continues to be a huge success with about 120 people attending the sold-out event.
Every year, the head chef at McNally Robinson cooks up an incredible meal while attendees watch the Scotiabank Giller Prize broadcast on a big screen. All funds raised from the event support Frontier College’s literacy programs for children, youth and adults across the country.
