DH3 presents Lemon Bucket Orkestra at the Haliburton Legion on Saturday, February 8.

Lemon Bucket Orkestra are Toronto’s original guerrilla-folk party-punk massive. The multi-award-winning ensemble has been heralded as a groundbreaking, genre-bending phenomenon by media and fans alike, and over the past 8 years have performed all over the world from WOMAD in New Zealand and Pohoda in Slovakia, to Festival DÉté in Québec City, and Luminato in Toronto. The Guardian proclaimed that their performances are “gorgeously sung and passionately played” and The New York Times declared them “charismatic…handsome and ambitious.

Equal parts exhilarating precision and reckless abandon, LBOs live shows are a truly immersive experience – ranging from the ecstatic to the cathartic and all points in between – and they have expertly captured that unique blend of energy and emotion on their new album If I Had The Strength.

Doors open at 7:30. Music starts at 8:00. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door. Tickets are available at The Source, Haliburton or online at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4450056.

Join us at 6:00 for a FREE Dance lesson from Stephania Woloshyn that will get you ready for the show!

Thank you to the support from the Haliburton County Folk Society.

Join Haliburton Highlands Land Trust for Wetlands and Climate Change.  If you missed the first presentation in January, join HHLT on Monday February 10, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. at the Minden Hills Cultural Centre for a hands-on, interactive presentation led by Paul Heaven, wildlife biologist/consultant about wetlands and their important role in mitigating climate change.

There’s been a lot of talk about how a “Green New Deal” for Canada could galvanized support for a plan to simultaneously address the climate emergency and a range of economic and social justice issues, at the same time.

Green Jobs Oshawa and the Canadian Worker Coop Federation sponsored a “Triple Bottom Line” feasibility study for the creation of a green vehicle production facility in Oshawa using the now largely-abandoned GM Oshawa Assembly Plant.

Russ Christianson, the principle author of that study will outline the study’s conclusions and why all Ontarians interested in the climate crisis should press for its adoption by the Ontario and Federal governments.

The Pattersons have spent the majority of their adult lives outside Canada in a variety of exciting service activities.  Their lives have included participating in the invention of a scheme for state wide village development in Maharashtra State, India, 2 different visits with Indira Gandhi, developing a plan in a remote Kenyan community for the control of HIV-AIDS, and walking the streets at night in Kigali, Rwanda, shortly after the genocide in that nation was brought under control.

They will share with us some of the adventures that have been part of their lives and the basic values that have provided them direction  over these years.

Meet artist Tiffany Howe and find out more about her creative process and use of recycled materials.

Before you part with that object, can you create it into art to enjoy forever? Is there a Marcel Duchamp waiting to emerge in your living room? Join this ‘Think Creative Session’ with your object and learn creative thinking considerations. Artist Tiffany Howe and curator Laurie Carmount walk participants through a process referred to as Found Object Art.

This event is linked to Tiffany Howe’s exhibition ‘Salvaged Remnants’ on display at the Agnes Jamieson Gallery February 1 to February 29

Time: 10am – 12pm
Cost: Admission by donation
