Northern Ontario Classic Cruisers Car Show - Slovak Legion
It has felt like forever since I got out to one of the local car shows. Luckily we were around this past weekend to check out the NOCC Car show at the Slovak Legion. I was so impressed with all the cars that showed up. I even saw some that I have never seen before, which was a pleasant surprise.

2024 BNA Community Powwow - Grandview Road
One of my absolute favourite events of the year is the Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek Powwow on Grandview Road. It’s an all day event with vendors, amazing dancers and it’s just an all around good time.

It’s an all day event with vendors, amazing dancers and it’s just an all around good time. This year was no exception either. The weather held up right up until the end, only raining for about 15 minutes. I actually found it refreshing. I’m already looking forward to the next one!

ONWA She is Wise Conference 2024 - Niagara Falls
One of my favourite events of the year is without a doubt, the ONWA She is Wise Conference. Usually it’s Toronto, but this time around they decided to have it in Niagara Falls. It ended up being the perfect location, for such a wonderful event.

For anyone looking to learn more about this event, I highly encourage you to head on over to the ONWA website. In a nutshell, this year’s theme was honouring the roles Grandmothers, Mothers, Aunties, and Daughters play in preserving and protecting Mother Earth. A variety of speakers, performers and workshops, made for a very memorable 3 day event.
Aanikoobijiganag: Beading Symposium Program - Thunder Bay Art Gallery
The Thunder Bay Art Gallery put on an amazing 3 day program here in Thunder Bay, centred around beading and a host of other disciplines. Attendees from across Canada came to learn from experts in each field. I was asked to cover a couple hours a day, which I was very thankful for.
