Phyllis Webb

Died in 2021

Phyllis Webb (1927-2021), born in Victoria, British Columbia, stood at twenty-two in the provincial elections for the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, then moved to Montreal at the invitation of F. R. Scott. A producer at public radio, she launched there in 1965, with William A. Young, a programme of ideas that has run for more than fifty years. Settled on Salt Spring Island, and awarded the Governor General's Award in 1982, she stopped writing in the early nineties for photography, collage and painting, and died on her island.
