Shelagh Rogers

Shelagh Rogers is a veteran broadcast journalist, most recently at CBC Radio as the host and co-creator of The Next Chapter, the award-winning program devoted to writing in Canada. In June, after 43 years at CBC Radio, Rogers retired, deciding it was time for her own “next chapter.”

In 2011, Rogers was inducted as an Honorary Witness for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. That same year, she was named an Officer of the Order of Canada. Rogers is Chancellor Emerita of the University of Victoria, a member of the Métis Nation of Greater Victoria and was the 2022 Symons Medalist.

Rogers is thrilled and honoured to be back at the Imaginarium, believing “in this batshit crazy world, Wordfest is a place where daylight lies.”
