The Giller prize, a prestigious Canadian literary award, has cut ties with a controversial sponsor after more than a year of pushback from the literary community.
The prize, which awards C$100,000 (£56,000) to its winner and C$10,000 to shortlisted authors each year, announced the end of its 20-year sponsorship by Scotiabank on Monday, and said it is exploring “new opportunities and collaborations”.
