Update May 22:
A proposal is pending positively at SpoCan (Spoken Word Canada) to organize a Peterborough/Windsor/London slam team of five poets for the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in Calgary in the fall. Each city will hold semi-finals; the winner from each city will automatically get a spot on the team. The second and third place finalists of each city will then go to Toronto later in the month to compete at a finals night for the last two spots on the team, where there will be performances, features, and a huge slam crowd.

Updates about the proposal will be posted here, and on the facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=9543653748).

For more information about the semi-finals, the team, what being on the team entails, etc;, please e-mail ptbopoetryslam@gmail.com
