While work continues on repairing one of its walls, the Art Gallery of Peterborough (AGP) remains open with the Selections Exhibition from this past weekend’s 30th Annual Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour on display until October 19th.
There’s a feeling of uneasy quietness that surrounds the Peterborough Theatre Guild’s production of John Patrick’s The Curious Savage.

This week, famous actor Emma Watson gave an emotional speech before the United Nations in order to introduce a new campaign called “HeForShe“. This campaign is aimed towards getting men involved in stopping violence against women. She rightfully pointed out that gender equality is not just a women’s issue, but everyone’s.

His 23-year-old son Mitchell decided to take his own life in August 2013 — a decision Pogue speaks about freely and frankly.
