Events, Music & More
If you’re trying to plan out a fun weekend for you and the family but feeling like there’s nothing to do, let me assure you that this is not the case. A quick look at our Events Calendar will reveal that on Saturday June 23rd the Grey Roots museum is helping to celebrate National Aboriginal Day by showing the National Film Board’s production, “First Nations: The Circle Unbroken”. This is a series of thirteen short video programs discussing a variety of Aboriginal perspectives on history, culture, spirituality, education, justice, and the environment. The films are suitable for ages 9 to Adult and are showing from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free!

The Grey Roots museum will also be offering a Moccasin Making workshop on the same day. Starting at 10:00am and running until 4:00pm., Susan Forrest of Stoney Keppel Bison will be leading the Moccasin workshop. A cost of $25.00 includes materials. Registration is limited to 15 participants so please call Lisa at the Grey Roots ,museum, extension 128 to reserve your spot.

    Thanks for the reminder Tom! Of course Owen Sound’s amazing Farmer’s Market is happening every Saturday morning from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. with many many amazing vendors, including Susan Forrest. If any readers have shameless plugs they would like help getting out there, feel free to send them to us and we will probably post them for you (subject to appropriateness of course). In fact, we are looking for contributors, so if you want to write or produce media about your passion, get in touch!

Got something to say?
