The '''Calgary Distinguished Writers Program''' at the [[University of Calgary]] is an educational program intended to advance the careers of Canadian writers. The program features two annual residential programs: one for the emerging Canadian writers, and one for a distinguished writer of international stature.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About the Program |url=https://arts.ucalgary.ca/calgary-distinguished-writers-program/about/about-program |access-date=2023-10-18 |website=Calgary Distinguished Writers Program - University of Calgary |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
While in Calgary, program participants divide their time between writing and community activities. Community activities include individual manuscript consultations and providing advice to local writers, conducting writing workshops, giving public readings, and meeting with school groups.<ref name="cdwp">{{Cite web |url=http://www.calgarywritersprogram.com/ |title=Calgary Distinguished Writers Program<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2012-09-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120702233046/http://www.calgarywritersprogram.com/ |archive-date=2012-07-02 |url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
