Public Notices/Announcements - North Bay - J.P. Cormier Live at The Grande Event Centre

J.P. returns to North Bay for an intimate solo show. He was last in North Bay for the East Coast Kitchen Party performance with Jimmy Rankin and Catherine MacLellan but he left the audience wanting more so I am thrilled to have J.P. Cormier back to open the 2025/2026 East Coaster Studios Concert Series – East to West.


The show is being held at one of North Bay’s premier facilities, The Grande Event Centre. Doors open at five with food and drinks available for purchase before the show. A special event menu will be available for dinner and the bar will be open before the show and during intermission. Doors open at 5 P.M. and the show starts at 7 P.M.

J.P. Cormier is a gifted multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter who has released more than a dozen records including two career retrospectives. J.P.’s impressive body of work has earned him a vast and loyal fan base and multiple award nominations and wins, including 14 East Coast Music Awards, Canadian Folk Music Award, five Music Nova Scotia Awards, Juno nominations, commendations from the Governor General of Canada and Premier of Nova Scotia. His 2015 album, The Chance, was nominated for a Juno award in the Traditional Roots Album of the Year category while his 2018 release with Dave Gunning, Gunning & Cormier – Two, won a 2019 East Coast Music Award.

His album, Another Morning, propelled him to singer-songwriter stardom on the East Coast. Some of the performances on that album inspired some of the biggest names in East Coast music; Dave Gunning, Matt Andersen, David Myles, and Joel Plaskett. When North Bay resident, Connor Carruthers, met J.P. for the first time when he was five years old he told J.P. his favourite song was The Molly May.

“…one of the most important guitar players of his generation.”

Community Event - Peterborough/Lindsay - weaving creek stones; a new play by Frankie McGee

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Witness Frankie on their journey towards connecting with queer, trans, and disabled lineages through the murkiness of disembodiment. Carolyn, a curious, awe-filled 11-year-old, and Francis, a wise, mysterious figure, comfort Frankie as they navigate a dangerous and dismissive healthcare system. Faced with their mortality, Frankie reflects on the numbness they want to shed and the connectedness they long for. Moving from disconnection towards embodiment and a reignited relationship with the land they’re on, Frankie begins to remember how to be present again, as they start to uncover the threads that tie them to their queer, trans, and disabled ancestors.

Accessibility Information:


All shoWs are relaxed performances and low-vision friendly. Masks required and provided.
ASL interpreting will be provided for the Sept 24 and 26 shows, and all shows are Low Vision Friendly using integrated description (meaning most visual information is integrated into the auditory elements of the show). Pre-show touch tours and a pre-show audio track that describes quiet moments in the show are available to low-vision audience members. Please contact frankiemcgee0@gmail.com to access them.


Artist Statement:

I began this project in 2021, wanting to explore queer, trans, and disabled community lineages, and how to connect with histories that have been erased, while being immersed in a world that has been shaped by those histories. Since then, animosity towards queer, trans, and disabled people has only grown, evident in social and legislative changes directly targeting these groups’ rights. We’re seeing public displays against queer cultural expression, increased power of the state to end marginalized disabled people’s lives and limit social supports, and expansions to carceral systems. In this terrifying climate, it feels ever more important to root ourselves in queer, trans, & disabled lineages. 

There is so much love and fight in these lineages, and their histories have been so intentionally erased. Queer, trans, and disabled people have always existed, in quiet and visible ways, even when we haven’t been given space to do so. weaving creek stones is my grief-and-love-filled effort to reach for the ancestors I am connected to through queer and disabled community, and break through the disembodiment perpetuated by the systems we live under. I hope this show inspires audiences to connect to their own inner knowing, and the wisdom we each hold in all the different versions of ourselves.

Vintage Film Festival

“Family Dynamics”

The 32nd Vintage Film Festival presents a weekend’s worth of movies centered around the theme of Family Dynamics (or: “If you knew my family, you would understand”).

This unusually light-hearted program will include no less than five great comedies from the Thirties, Forties, Fifties and Sixties, two silent comedies, and two ultra-popular musicals (Mary Poppins and Meet Me in St. Louis!) — plus a unique thriller, a sensational gangster film, a remarkable cult classic, and an undisputed member of the “greatest films of all time” club.

Experience live piano accompaniment for our silent films, Buster Keaton’s Our Hospitality and Yasujirō Ozu’s I Was Born, But…, by VFF favourite Jordan Klapman. And the Festival experience also includes the Sunday lunchtime film talk (an on-stage interview with production designer Seamus Flannery), new merchandise and movie banners, the silent auction, free admission for young people 25 and under, and free popcorn all weekend!

Laughing Heals: A Night of Comedy in Support of Men’s Mental Health

Burlington – Capillary Wave Community, a local non-profit charity dedicated to supporting men’s mental health, is proud to present Laughing Heals, a one-of-a-kind comedy fundraiser featuring three of the area’s top comedians. The event will take place on Tuesday September 16th at the Blk Swan on Brant St. promising an evening filled with laughter, connection, and purpose.

Men’s mental health is an issue that touches families and communities everywhere, yet it often goes unspoken. Laughing Heals was created to shine a light on this important topic while offering a fun, uplifting experience for all.

“Laughter has always been a bridge between people—it breaks down walls, relieves stress, and reminds us that we’re not alone,” said Nelson Borges, founder of Capillary Wave Community. “This event isn’t just about raising money, it’s about raising awareness and creating hope.”

The night will feature:

  • Three Local Comedians bringing their best sets to the stage

     
  • Silent Auction & Prizes with proceeds supporting Capillary Wave Community programs

     
  • Community Connection with opportunities to learn more about men’s mental health initiatives

     

All proceeds will go directly toward supporting Capillary Wave Community’s mission of providing peer-led support groups, awareness campaigns, and resources for men navigating mental health challenges.

Community Event - Peterborough/Lindsay - Benefit Concert at The Salvation Army

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Once again this year, Kenneth Beal, tenor from Würzburg Germany, and Charles Gerard, concert pianist from Oshawa, are combining their amazing talents to perform a Benefit Concert raising funds for the Breakfast Program at The Salvation Army in Peterborough. 

The Breakfast Program operates from the Salvation Army church in downtown Peterborough five mornings a week, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 to 10:00am, and is funded entirely by donations. The Community and Family Services staff and many volunteers distribute breakfast meals to individuals, including adults and children, who line up looking for a meal to start the day. Since 2020, the numbers of people accessing these meals has increased significantly. Presently, on average, 600 breakfast meals are being served each week. The need has increased, and so has the cost of groceries. Without any government funding, The Salvation Army relies heavily on donations to keep the supply of food available.  

The Benefit Concert is sponsored by the family of Lloyd Beal, Kenneth’s father, who volunteered many hours for the Breakfast Program. ALL ticket money and donations collected as a result of the concert will go directly to support this much-needed program. The Peterborough Salvation Army Trust Board has agreed to match dollar for dollar the amount of money raised through the concert. So a $20 ticket becomes a $40 donation!!

So, mark your calendars for Saturday, September 27th at 7:00pm for an evening of unmistakeably great music at The Salvation Army Peterborough Community Church. Tickets are $20, and are available by contacting JoAnne Leach at 705-760-5514, or by email djleach79@yahoo.ca. Tickets will also be available at the door. Please consider attending the concert and in doing so, support the provision of food to those in need.
