Ontario

Ontario's writing-workshop scene benefits from a concentration of universities in Toronto and elsewhere in the province, several of which run respected creative writing programs and public-facing workshops. The Humber School for Writers, based in Toronto, is particularly well known among Canadian writers.

Community-run workshops are common in smaller Ontario cities as well, often tied to local libraries and writers' circles.

University and school-affiliated workshops in Ontario can be more structured and application-based than community groups, so check the commitment level and any prerequisites before applying.
