The White Pine™ Award reading program offers high school-aged teens at all grade levels the opportunity to read the best of Canada's recent young adult fiction and non-fiction titles. Each year a Fiction list is offered and every other year a Non- Fiction list is nominated so readers can choose from two lists. This program promotes reading for enjoyment among high school-aged students and familiarizes them with great Canadian books, by Canadian authors. (from the Ontario Library Associations’ website)
