Robin Skelton and Sylvia Skelton Scholarship Fund

Donate to the Robin Skelton and Sylvia Skelton Scholarship Fund.

The University of Victoria, in honour of The Malahat Review’s forthieth anniversary, is fundraising to establish a scholarship for a Fine Arts student.

The year 2007 marked the fortieth anniversary of The Malahat Review, and the tenth anniversary of the death of Robin Skelton, poet, writer, artist, and the magazine’s co-founder. He and his wife, Sylvia, were vital, incredibly productive members of the Victoria art scene. Locally, provincially, and nationally, this dynamic couple contributed to our cultural life for more than thirty-four richly creative and convivial years.
