Sharing a gift of love with women in shelters – in a shoebox
UPDATE (DECEMBER 20, 2015) — The inaugural year of Peterborough’s Shoebox Project, coordinated by Vanessa Dinesen, was a great success. Dinesen posted the following status on Facebook:
My heart is full!
With the help of many people, we collected enough donations so that EVERY woman at the local shelters this Christmas will receive a box full of lovely things!
With the cash I received, I purchased gift cards to Subway and Tim Hortons, packs of gum, hot chocolate, candy canes, chocolate bars and made goody bags for each woman and paired that with a word search/crossword book …
This, my friends, is the true spirit of Christmas!
Thank you to everyone that contributed in any way.
Dinesen also posted a few photos of the donations, all ready to be distributed to women in shelters.

The man behind CrackerJack Theatre

Such bloody heights – a review of Crimson Peak
And now for something that has nothing to do with the election or baseball. Much like pumpkin-spiced treats or darker stouts, horror has become a definitive aspect of our autumnal diet.
