Lee Trentadue has been honoured with an appointment to the Board of Directors of the Canadian Booksellers Association and will be working on promoting independent bookstores across Canada. She will also be helping promote a Buy Local Campaign within the bookselling community as part of this work.

What is Independents Matter?
Independents Matter is a national grassroots campaign with a community focus created by Canadian Booksellers Association to encourage booksellers to celebrate their independence and promote the benefits of shopping locally at independently-owned stores. Independents Matter is part of a momentum-gaining movement in support of the idea that shopping locally offers the best value, the best retail experience and the best support for vibrant, vital and prosperous communities. CBA wants to help members spread this message through Independents Matter.
