Word on the Street, the annual book and magazine lovers' festival that took place in recent years at the Calgary Farmers' Market on the last Sunday of September, has been nixed in Calgary f0r 2008 due to a major sponsor pulling out. Unfortunately, this means that the festival will be on hold indefinitely. There is no news on whether a sponsor will be found in time for 2009's Word on the Street.
Word on the Street is still set to occur this year in Halifax, Toronto, and Vancouver.
