Georgian Bay’s premier literary event of the year returns on Saturday, October 21 at the Collingwood Leisure Club at 7 pm. The 9th Annual Georgian Bay Reads pits book defenders from five local libraries against each other to determine the best Canadian title. It’s a battle of the books full of entertainment as each defender argues why their book deserves to win.
More than 20 years have passed since the Canadian Friends of John Muir confirmed the location where the great conservationist and founder of the Sierra Club spent two years as a young man – in Trout Hollow, on the shore of the Bighead River, within the Municipality of Meaford.
Music is built on relationships; the relationships between notes and chords, between people and songs, and between the musicians and promoters who bring those songs to the world. For professional musicians, building relationships through music is a necessary part of building their careers.
The Meaford Public Library has a new program this fall, Armchair Traveller. This program allows you to see the world without leaving the comfort of the library by travelling to a new destination through the eyes of a local person who has been there.
Armchair Traveller sessions provide information about each location, offer personal stories, a look through photos taken by the presenter, and travel advice. Some presentations will include traditional food to sample and music from the area.
