Through personal stories and historical context, it highlights the resilience of families and communities seeking justice. This screening takes place just days before Red Dress Day on May 5, a national day of awareness honoring missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people. The red dress has become a symbol of remembrance and a call for action.

Event Details
Chris Hughes is passionate about two things: motorcycles and toilets. An interesting combo for sure, but there is always a good story as to why. His 26-year career in tourism development has seen him crisscross the country (mostly on his motorcycle) helping clients create the next great tourism experience, and with that he has seen it all.
On Two Wheels
Eleven years ago, Ontario’s Highlands came to BC Hughes with a seed of an idea to create a world class motorcycle destination. Having already helped build Ride Lake Superior, Ride the North, Ride Grey Bruce, and other motorsports destinations, Chris and his team were excited at the opportunity, knowing full well that the region had all the successful ingredients: twisty roads, delicious food/drink and friendly locals. Fast forward to today, and Ride the Highlands is one of the top motorcycle destinations in North America.
On the Toilet
The bathroom, washroom, potty, commode, outhouse, no matter what you call it, we all need it, especially when we are tourists. Chris has spent his whole career looking for the perfect public toilet and feels as a society we are really missing the perfect flush. Learn why Tim Hortons still hasn’t figured out what ‘business’ it’s really in, see how Stratford’s new Boathouse Bathroom is winning over theatre guests, and see examples from around the world of those that get it and those that miss the mark.
Chris is co-owner and director at BC Hughes Tourism Consulting located in Shallow Lake, Ontario (located right beside the really deep one – Lake Huron). As a University of Waterloo alumnus, Chris was trained on the integration of business and the environment. Something extremely relative in today’s tourism economies. Chris specializes in developing memorable and innovative tourism experiences; from the Han Wi (full moon dinner), to goat yoga to motorcycle touring routes, he thrives on working with businesses of all sizes

Event Details
Join us at the Agnes Jamieson Gallery for the opening reception of Mountain Lake at a Glance (The Hidden Nature of Paint), a new exhibit by Gord Peteran.
Gord’s family has summered at Mountain Lake just north of Minden since 1934. While Gord is known as a sculptor, he has been plein-air painting Mountain Lake for the past 40 years. Until now, this has remained a private affair, separate from his professional career as an artist. Accumulating slowly over the years, these small oil sketches have performed much like a secret graphic diary. What is unusual about this undertaking is that almost all 400 oil sketches are of the same view – true north from the family cottage. His exhibition at the Agnes Jameson Gallery, will be the first time these personal paintings have been presented publicly.
“The light changes constantly so I work quickly to fuse an hour of time with a place of the heart, attempting to document not only the trees, clouds and waves, but also the ghosts that collect by a lake.” G.P.
The Artist:
We welcome back Toronto sculptor Gord Peteran to the Agnes Jamieson Gallery. Gord has lectured and exhibited extensively throughout North America. His work is held in many private and public collections. Locally, he created the red entranceway for the Haliburton School of Art + Design and has a sculpture in the Haliburton Sculpture Forest.
While a professor at the Ontario College of Art and Design University for over 25 years, Peteran has also taught at The California College of Arts, Sheridan College School of Arts and Crafts, and the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, RI.
Gord has been the recipient of numerous Government Arts Council grants and awards throughout his career, including the Jean A. Chalmers National Arts Award. Three exhibition catalogues have been published on his work.
The Agnes Jamieson Gallery is a public gallery with year-round visual exhibitions of local and regional art. The Gallery is part of the Minden Hills Cultural Centre which also includes the Heritage Village & Nature Place Interpretive Centre. The Gallery is fully accessible and is open Tuesday – Saturday from 10 am – 4 pm. Admission is by donation.

Event Details
In partnership with the Haliburton County Public Library, the Minden Hills Cultural Centre invites you to a free screening of Cold Journey (1975) on Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 1:00 PM. Directed by Martin Defalco, the film follows 15-year-old Buckley Petawabano, a Cree youth navigating the tension between cultural identity and the pressures of the residential school system. Loosely inspired by the story of Chanie Wenjack, Cold Journey is one of the first Canadian films to feature Indigenous actors in leading roles, with performances by Buckley Petawabano, Johnny Yesno, and Chief Dan George, and music by Willie Dunn.
Admission is free and open to all ages. No pre-registration required. Presented with the support of the National Film Board of Canada.
This screening is presented in connection with We Were Taught Differently: The Indian Residential School Experience, a traveling exhibit from the Lake of the Woods Museum. On display in the Welch Room from April 1 to June 28, the exhibit shares the stories of residential school survivors and highlights the resilience of Indigenous communities. Through powerful images, artifacts, and testimonies, it encourages reflection and dialogue on truth and reconciliation.

Event Details
As an expansion of the well-established “native plant sale,” FEEL is offering this exciting educational opportunity with experiential workshops, demonstrations, and presentations. As always, potted native plants will be available to purchase and ecologists will be on-site to help you make the best choices for your landscape. Local environmental organizations will be on-site too, for you to ask burning questions, and for them to share their insights and knowledge with you, all under the umbrella of ecology!
As a family-friendly event, the workshops are great for little hands to get involved. FEEL’s Children’s Water Festival coordinator will be activating one of our hands-on activity stations for kids and families to engage with. And, of course, as our host for this event, Abbey Gardens is a beautiful place to walk, have fun in the Enchanted Forest, say hello to the ponies, and grab a bite to eat at the Food Hub.
Register for a workshop today!

Event Details
Come join us for a night of spoken word and rhymes at Dominion Hotel Pub. Let your creativity flow and share your poetry with a supportive audience. Whether you’re a seasoned poet or new to the scene, all are welcome to participate or simply enjoy the show. Poetry lovers, who are shy about presenting their work, are encouraged to bring a favourite poem, from a favourite poet, and take their turn at the microphone.
Host: Lea Harper — call Lea at 705 754 4678 to book a spot to present
Cost: Free with an opportunity to donate at the door to support future work of the Arts Council.
Theme: What HOME means … please define this as in whatever way it inspires you but here are some additional words to help you think it through: At a time when the sovereignty of our country is being talked about in the news, we’d love to hear what HOME means to you and Where is HOME in your heart? For example, What does it mean to be part of a family, a community, a nation, a global village? Is HOME a refuge or a war zone, a place you return to again and again, or is it an imagined world, a utopia? Is it found in solitude, on a forest path, in the arms of a lover? Writing HOME. Your way, your story . . .
