“Opening Doors Through Stories” is a project of the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild and the Regina Open Door Society to engage newcomers to Canada living in Regina through the art of creative writing. Through a series of workshops facilitated by established Regina writers, participants have the opportunity to write new work and to have that work edited by the facilitator, culminating into a beautiful chapbook. Each chapbook is launched in a celebratory public ceremony.
