Canadian Federation of Poets Get Recognition from Governor General of Canada

The Canadian Federation of Poets has hit the Super Bowl jackpot this year with a number of honours and changes that will put them among the top-ranked poetry organizations in Canada.

Thanks to the efforts of members which started a movement to get the CFP recognized, they have just received, from Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaelle Jean, Governor General of Canada, an accepted position of Patron for the Canadian Federation of Poets and is happy to lend her endorsement to all CFP efforts.

We have added to our list of members:

Patron:
Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaelle Jean
C.C, C.M.M., C.O.M., C.D.
Governor General of Canada

This is just another indicator that the Canadian Federation of Poets is among the top poetry organizations in Canada, and is honoured that those who are members, helped with that achievement.

In addition, Poetry Canada magazine founder, Tracy Repchuk, who is also the founder and president of the Canadian Federation of Poets, has been promoted to Managing Editor, and welcomes new editor R.D.Roy.

In addition, the CFP has opened another branch office in Burbank, California to help expand poetry and fulfill its mission which is to unite people and organizations from around the world in the global promotion of poets and poetry.

Look for huge publishing opportunity announcements coming soon, and a new International magazine called Poetry World Magazine.
