What’s open and closed over Christmas and New Year’s in the Kawarthas

By kawarthaNOW -

As Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day are statutory holidays in Ontario, all government offices and services are closed (because Boxing Day falls on a Saturday this year, the statutory holiday is observed on Monday, December 28). Liquor and beer stores are closed, except for a selected few beer stores that will be open on Boxing Day. Most businesses — including malls, box stores, and grocery stores — are closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day but are open on Boxing Day. Many businesses close early in the afternoon on both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

All services and businesses are affected by the province-wide COVID-19 shutdown that begins on Boxing Day (December 26) and continues through the remainder of the holidays. Here are a few key things to know about the impact of the shutdown on services and businesses:

  • Indoor sports and recreational fitness facilities are closed (this includes municipal arenas and facilities).
  • Museums and art galleries are closed.
  • Libraries can provide curbside pick-up only.
  • Grocery stores and pharmacies are limited to 50 per cent capacity.
  • Big box and discount retailers that sell groceries are open, but limited to 25 per cent capacity.
  • Shopping malls are closed for in-person retail, but curbside pick-up (or in-mall pick-up at a designated area) is permitted.
  • All other retailers are closed for in-person retail, with only curbside pick-up or delivery permitted.
  • Only take-out or delivery is permitted at restaurants (no inside or outside dining).
  • Movie theatres and performance venues are closed.
  • Personal care services are closed.

For your convenience, we provide this list of holiday hours for 268 selected businesses and services across the Kawarthas. This information comes from their websites and social media accounts, which may or may not be up to date, so please always call them first to confirm their hours (we’ve included phone numbers), especially when you are travelling any distance. If your business or organization is listed and the hours are incorrect, please let us know by using our content feedback form.

We may have a white Christmas, but only after a lot of rain

By kawarthaNOW -

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for all of southern, central, and eastern Ontario calling for potentially heavy rain on Wednesday night (December 23) and into Christmas Eve, followed by a chance of snow by Christmas Day.

Rain is forecast to begin tonight ahead of an approaching low pressure system. This rain will then continue into Thursday and become heavy at times.

Total rainfall amounts of 15 to 25 mm appear likely.

By Thursday evening or overnight, the rain is expected to change over to snow after the passage of a strong cold front.

A few centimetres of snowfall accumulation will be possible Thursday night through Friday morning.

There remains considerable uncertainty as to the exact track of this low pressure system and the timing of the changeover from rain to snow. This will ultimately affect how much snow may fall at any particular location.

Motorists should be prepared for deteriorating winter driving conditions in areas that receive snow on Christmas Eve into Christmas Day.

Peterborough’s New Canadians Centre helps newcomers come together, even when we’re apart

By kawarthaNOW -
This past summer, a newcomer family sings the viral children's hit song "Baby Shark", a favourite among newcomer children as it helps them learn language while bringing them joy. Despite the pandemic, the New Canadians Centre has continued to offer programs for newcomers and refugees to keep them connected and to develop language and skills for success. But the non-profit charity needs your support to continue to to bring joy to newcomers and their families through these uncertain times. (Photo courtesy of the New Canadians Centre)

“Baby Shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo …”

Lubna Sadek, youth group facilitator at the New Canadians Centre in Peterborough, got to know the viral children’s hit song “Baby Shark” really well this summer.

She sang it every day when she visited newcomer families in isolation online and in person.

“Baby Shark is a song about bringing families together, helping them stay connected especially when they feel alone,” Sadek says. “As it turns out, it is a favourite among newcomer children as it helps them learn language. And it makes them really happy when they sing it.”

Staying together when we’re asked to keep apart is a challenge for everyone, but especially for people from other countries who now call Canada home.

Through the generous support of the community, the New Canadians Centre — a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to supporting immigrants, refugees, and other newcomers in the Peterborough and Northumberland regions — has been able to move forward during the pandemic with programs for newcomers and refugees to keep them connected and to develop language and skills for success.

The centre’s long-standing women’s group, which includes women from all over the world who have made their home in Peterborough and have developed strong friendships, has moved online. New Canadians Centre staff deliver kits so the women can continue to meet weekly and bond over crafts and baking. These are important connections that support both language learning and a sense of belonging among newcomers.

Newcomer youth also continue to connect online to explore opportunities for education and employment and to develop the skills they need to be successful.

Over the summer, the New Canadians Centre’s newcomer youth group hosted Instagram Live sessions each week, providing an opportunity for youth to come together and engage in activities from painting to yoga to baking and online games.

Also over the summer, thanks to community support, New Canadians Centre staff delivered care packages of food staples and drawings and letters to migrant farm workers, letting them know that the community is grateful for all they do.

Community support has also helped newcomer women step up during the pandemic, sewing caps and masks for frontline healthcare workers at a crucial time and putting to good use the skills they have developed from sewing training.

It’s clear that a gift to the New Canadians Centre impacts the lives of many people in our community.

“Because of your ongoing generosity, newcomer families are not isolated,” Sadek says. “They are hopeful. They are working towards their future.”

As Baby Shark joyfully sings when he is together again with all of his family, “Safe at Last, doo doo doo doo doo doo …”

“That’s what a gift to New Canadians Centre looks like,” Sadek says. “It’s how you can change lives when we are together, and even when we are apart.”

To help the New Canadians Centre continue to bring joy to newcomers and their families through these uncertain times, please consider making a gift this holiday season at nccpeterborough.ca/support-the-ncc/.

Neil Young has just released a video of himself performing “Comes A Time” in an empty Coronation Hall in his childhood home of Omemee.

Note for mobile users

The video links are only available on the desktop version of the NYA website. However, you can adjust the settings of your mobile web browser to display the desktop version.

You can watch the video on the Neil Young Archives (NYA) website.

Young released the video as a promotion of his 2017 “Hometown” concert, also recorded in Omemee, which you can watch for free on NYA during the month of December.

“Coronation Hall in Omemee Ontario is a wonderful old theater,” Young writes on the website. “It holds many memories of my family, all together there in that little town. My dad played Coronation Hall once in a local show as my mother, my brother and I sat in the audience.”

While the 2017 concert — which was directed by Young’s wife Daryl Hannah — was a promotion for the release of Young’s record The Visitor, it was also a promotion for the launch of NYA.

“I was uncharacteristically nervous that night in 2017 playing Coronation Hall by myself for the first time and streaming to the world,” he writes.

“‘Hometown’ is now an NYA tradition, showing every year, right here throughout the holidays.”

Along with the “Hometown” concert, Young has made all of the NYA content — both music and films — free for everyone through to the end of December.

“I know this time of year is going to be hard for a lot us as we long to be with our loved ones,” Young writes.

“Our hearts go out to all of you. We send much love and a Coronation Hall quarantine ‘Comes A Time’.”

Peterborough’s Lett Architects to design new Canadian Canoe Museum at Johnson Park

Peterborough’s Lett Architects Inc. will be designing the new Canadian Canoe Museum at Johnson Park on Ashburnham Drive.

The museum announced on Tuesday (December 22) that the property at 2077 Ashburnham Drive, which is owned by the City of Peterborough, has been deemed viable for the building of the new facility.

“We are thrilled that recently concluded due diligence explorations, environmental assessments, testing and feasibility studies have substantiated the Johnson Park location as a viable site for the building of the new world-class canoe museum,” says Carolyn Hyslop, the museum’s executive director.

Hyslop says the museum will move to the next phase of feasibility and validation activities for the Johnson Park site, which is located on the west side of Ashburnham Drive, north of Beavermead Park and south of Parks Canada’s Trent-Severn Waterway head offices. The site is a short walk to the shores of Little Lake.

“This process will help us fine tune budget and overall costs, design and the project schedule with a view to being shovel-ready by the end of 2021,” Hyslop says.

According to a media release from the museum, the new facility will be built away from the floodplain, on a flat portion of the property on the open land along Ashburnham Drive.

“This will preserve the existing trail, shoreline and natural waterfront,” the museum states.

The museum also announced that Lett Architects Inc. of Peterborough will be designing the new museum.

“Lett Architects are thrilled to be working with the Canadian Canoe Museum on a new home for their comprehensive collection and programming,” says Bill Lett, managing principal with Lett Architects Inc. “As a local studio, we are excited for the opportunity to design this new facility and for the first-hand chance to experience its positive impact on our own community.”

The new museum was originally going to be located beside the Peterborough Lift Lock on property owned by Parks Canada, with a design by Heneghan Peng Architects of Dublin. In October, the museum abandoned both the original location and design after an independent investigation by the museum in May determined the site contains the chemical compound trichloroethylene (TCE), along with a variety of other chemicals.

Hyslop says the museum’s original goals and vision continue to guide the new build project. These include establishing a home for 100 per cent of the museum’s canoe collection that meets Class A conservation standards, directly on the water, which allows for increased on-water and in-person programming.

“In a year that has brought every manner of exceptional challenges to us all, we are delighted to close out 2020 with positive and hopeful news,” Hyslop says. “Having found a viable site for this extraordinary project that will see the new museum situated on the shores of Peterborough’s Little Lake — what a terrific kick off to 2021.”

A sneak peek at what’s coming to the 2021 ReFrame Film Festival

By Sarah McNeilly -
"9to5: The Story of a Movement" is one of the big-name features screening at the 2021 ReFrame Film Festival. By Academy Award winning filmmakers Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar, the film tells the story of 9to5, an organization established in 1973 that is dedicated to improving working conditions and ensuring the rights of women and families in the United States, and which inspired the 1980 hit film starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton.

Early this January, ReFrame Film Festival will release the full film guide for the week-long documentary film festival, available online province-wide and running from Friday, January 22nd to Friday, January 29th.

In the meantime, ReFrame creative director Amy Seigel has graciously given kawarthaNOW readers an early look at some of the upcoming festival programming in advance of ReFrame’s official announcement.

“The program is feeling really exciting,” says Seigel. “I think our audiences are in for a treat. There’s going to be over 50 films, workshops, panel discussions, Q&As, and more.”

Despite the fact that the festival has been moved online, there will still be an opening night event, streamed live and in real time so audiences can share a virtual collective experience.

“On the opening night of the festival January 22nd, there will be a keynote address by Drew Hayden Taylor, the award-winning playwright, author, and filmmaker from Curve Lake,” Seigel announces.

“Local poets will join Drew and we will be streaming the event live from Market Hall. We really miss our venues so much and we hope to offer audiences a glimpse into at least one of our cherished spaces.”

Audiences can also expect to see homegrown works by local filmmakers, investigating current issues through a regional lens.

“Cara Mumford’s new film ‘Sing Them Home’ is a meditation on local water systems,” Seigel says, referring to the Métis/Chippewa Cree filmmaker from Alberta who has been living in Peterborough since 2010.

“It is a collaboration with dancer Jenn Cole that incorporates the words of Leanne Besamoke Simpson.”

“Also there’s ‘The River’, a short by Benjamin Hargreaves about The River magazine — it’s a really wonderful portrait of the community.”

“We’re also really excited to premiere our first commissioned project that was created in collaboration with Public Energy,” Siegel adds.

“It documents many of the local artists who were involved in the Pivot Series and discusses a lot of the issues currently facing the performing arts community.”

The 2021 ReFrame Film Festival will also feature films from local filmmakers. "The River" by Benjamin Hargreaves is a documentary that follows the hardship and creativity of a contributor to The River magazine, which features art and stories of those who identify as living in poverty in Peterborough.

In addition to programming created by Peterborough and regional filmmakers, audiences can also expect the big-name features that have put ReFrame on the map.

“‘9to5: The Story of a Movement’ is a film by Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar,” Seigel says, pointing out that Reichert and Bognar won the Best Documentary Feature Academy Award last year for their film American Factory.

“The film follows the 1970s movement for office workers that inspired the movie ‘9 to 5’,” Siegel explains, referring to the hit 1980 satrical film starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton. “It’s the story of a feminist movement from organizing on a grassroots level to massive nation-wide union building.”

Also screening at the festival is the Canadian documentary film No Ordinary Man, directed by Aisling Chin-Yee and Chase Joynt and written by Chin-Yee and Amos Mac, which premiered at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival in September.

“‘No Ordinary Man’ documents the life of American jazz musician Billy Tipton,” Seigel explains.

“In this film, Tipton’s story is reimagined and performed by trans artists as they collectively paint a portrait of this hero.”

VIDEO: “No Ordinary Man” trailer

Also screening at the festival are the Canadian documentary films John Ware Reclaimed, which premiered at the Calgary International Film Festival in September, and Judy Versus Capitalism, which had its Canadian premiere at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in May.

“‘John Ware Reclaimed’ is a film that follows filmmaker Cheryl Foggo on her quest to re-examine the mythology behind John Ware, a black cowboy who settled in Alberta before the turn of the 20th century,” Siegel says. “‘Judy Versus Capitalism’ tells the story of the fight for abortion rights here in Canada through an artful portrait of the life of activist Judy Rebick, and we’ll be talking with Judy through the festival.”

In addition to the numerous local, national, and international short and feature length documentary films that audiences can watch on-demand for the duration of the festival, ReFrame will also offer many filmmaker talks, panel discussions, Q&As, and workshops.

For the first time ever, ReFrame will be offering a special opportunity for emerging filmmakers in collaboration with Peterborough’s Electric City Culture Council (EC3).

“Something that both ReFrame and EC3 are passionate about is to foster a filmmaking community here in Nogojiwanong/Peterborough,” says Seigel. “We’re excited to have a professional development workshop for emerging filmmakers that will bring together funders and experienced artists to discuss some of the issues and pathways towards making a documentary film.”

Festival pass holders will have access to all these films, panels, workshops, and more.

All-access passes and five-packs (you can pick your five favourite films to watch) are available for purchase now — they make wonderful holiday gifts — at my.reframefilmfestival.ca/passes/buy. Single film tickets will also be available when the festival’s online film guide is released in early January.

Siegel reminds audiences that, just like the traditional in-person festival, there are a set number of “seats” for every virtual screening. This means that, when the film guide is released online in January, you will need to pre-register tickets for each film you would like to see.

 

kawarthaNOW is proud to be a sponsor of the 2021 ReFrame Film Festival.
