Currently residing at the lovely Evans Contemporary gallery is a juxtaposition of bold yet subtle wood sculptures, alongside a few equally striking oil paintings — all by artist John Abrams.
Curator Paolo Fortin has managed to take works (which have been ignored by Abrams’ stable of galleries) and exhibit them well in this gentle space.
Both the sculptures and painted works are given plenty of breathing room, allowing each piece to be independently stronger.
With the wild weather we have been having this year, it’s easy to commiserate with early colonists in the Bay of Fundy who gathered together as the first members of the “Order of Good Cheer” — using food, wine and good fellowship to survive those early Canadian winters.
We all grew up learning the rules of healthy eating based on the four food groups: fruits and vegetables, grain products, milk products, and meat products.
The Canada Food Guide went so far as to outline how much we should consume from each group depending on our age.
One of Peterborough’s most prolific and talented artists, Beau Dixon has music and theatre in his soul — they are the passions that define him.

Another year, another crop of uninspired Academy Award Nominees.
To say that the Academy draws almost strictly from what Hollywood has crafted for it is hardly a revelation, but this remains a source of potent frustration for audiences that recognize that not all mainstream films play by these rules.
An award-worthy film need not always contain trendy American politics or a cloying starlet’s shorn locks.
My favourite films and performances of the year celebrate fantastical tradition and cultural preservation — two qualities that the Academy should hold in extremely high regard.

While I’ve never met her before, it was fairly easy to spot Ashley Brzozowicz waiting for her cappuccino in the long line of people at Black Honey Desserts. Blonde and statuesque, Brzozowicz epitomizes the physicality of an Olympic athlete, yet her demeanor is calm and gentle.
“I’m really excited to be living in Peterborough,” she says softly in between sips from her steaming mug of coffee. “There are so many beautiful trails surrounding the city. I’m really enjoying my time here.”
Having recently moved from her training centre in London Ontario while her husband Roy Dyskstra pursues a PhD at Trent University’s Traill College, Brzozowicz says she’s learning new and amazing things about this city every day.
