SF Canada is deeply saddened to learn that Jean-Louis Trudel, a Prix-Aurora award-winning author, passed away on November 18, 2025 while at a writing residency in Lithuania.
Trudel, a former president of SF Canada, was a guiding light within our organization, dispensing valuable advice, insights, and encouragement with aplomb. He was a prolific author, writing mostly in French, but also English, and was inducted into the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2021.
SF Canada sends our deepest condolences to his family and friends. His warmth and kindness will be greatly missed.
