The Salon du livre de Toronto is an annual book fair in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, held to celebrate and publicize French language literature.[1] Launched in 1993 as the first French language book fair in Canada outside Quebec,[1] the event features a program of author readings, panel discussions and publisher exhibitions over the course of several days in the fall of each year.[2] It concentrates primarily on Franco-Ontarian authors, although publishers and writers from Quebec and France also participate.[2]
Due to the Franco-Ontarian community's relatively limited access to French language media and bookstores, it serves as an essential venue for promotion and networking between the publishing industry and French language school boards, post-secondary institutions, libraries and other community organizations in the province.[3]
The event was founded by writer and educator Christine Dumitriu Van Saanen, who served as its director general until 2006.
