Welcome to the
CCLA!
The goal of the Canada Cuba Literary Alliance is to advance literary solidarity between Canada and Cuba through the creative expression of poetry, prose and photography.
Two awards that the CCLA have received.
The CCLA is honoured to have received the Point of Life Award for our significant contribution to art and literature.
Michael Levy, founder of the Point of Life Foundation, announced the CCLA was given this honour of The Point of Life Award of Excellence for bringing people together through art and literature. The Point of Life Foundation is a non profit organization established to provide education to the general public and to support research into better understanding spirituality and the purpose of life. By bringing together the positive forces from science, medicine, philosophy and religion the Point of Life Foundation promotes a holistic approach to
enabling people to better understand the forces affecting their lives and thereby enabling individuals to manage those forces to bring them peace, serenity, freedom and enjoyment. The CCLA is proud to receive
