Maple Tree Literary Supplement (MTLS) is a cutting-edge 21st century triannual online journal. MTLS promotes Canadian writing and allied Canadian arts – and occasional scholarship – with emphasis on culturally diverse contribution. There is a special interest in new writing and arts, especially with a view to representing Canada’s diversity. We encourage and promote visible minority literature and arts alongside the mainstream. This is symbolized in our inclusive and diverse editorial board. MTLS is a platform for old and fresh voices, and has a mandate to short-circuit any tendency towards elitism in Canadiana.
