Peterborough Speakers Series – Ted Higgins

Ted Higgins is a tough guy to track down.

“I’m not avoiding you Carol,” he laughs.

After four exchanges in less than three weeks, I too am starting to think our game of phone tag is humorous. In an effort to successfully pin him down, I suggest coming to meet Higgins at his home.

“That’s not necessary. I’ll see you first thing tomorrow morning,” he promises. “What do you take in your coffee?”

What three achievements are you most proud of since becoming the Executive Director at the Health Services Foundation in 2009?

“Our on-going volunteer program which helps to facilitate and support the work we do at the Foundation. We have a full roster of individuals. The fact we have people approaching us to volunteer speaks to how well run the program is.

We are the first Foundation to work with Family Health Teams. It’s a prime example of how the Foundation continues to forge new partnerships unlike any in the province of Ontario. At the same time, we remain true to and honour our Foundation’s legacy.

Now in its third year, the Peterborough Speakers Series is an event that helps to build awareness to the good work we do at the Foundation, while shining a spotlight on some exceptional contributors to our community.”

What is your idea of a perfect day?

“Every day I come to work in Millbrook is an ideal day for me. I love seeing all of the team and working closely with them. I particularly enjoy it when something challenging is happening. For me, it’s a sign Nexicom is growing and developing and striving to be the best.”

You probably know that the fabulously indie ReFrame Film Fest gets underway on Friday, January 25th. But what you likely didn’t know is that ReFrame has a “still” component.

That’s right — “Still ReFrame” launches in advance of the film portion, with a reception at the Market Hall on Sunday, January 13th from 4 to 8 pm.

Using visual art to communicate social issues of concern, 11 artists and collectives bring their ideas to venues across downtown Peterborough.

Selected by Krista English, Mickey Renders and curator Elizabeth Fennell, the works of Still ReFrame speak of issues both local and away.
