SUMMARY:The Métis Nation of Ontario Urban Portage Challenge
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to participate in a walking challenge to see who can collectively walk the most steps. Bring your 4-legged friends along. Everyone wins prizes (including the dogs)! \nThe community with the highest step count receives funds to host a celebration.\nBe a part of this exciting journey and let’s walk towards a healthier more connected community! We understand that mobility varies for everyone\, so please participate in the way that feels right for you. Steps can be tracked with the app of your choice\, device or pedometer\, until the end of November.

SUMMARY:BALL Series: a Deep Dive into the Great Lakes
DESCRIPTION:The Geologic History and Future of the Great Lakes\nThe origin of the Great Lake basins of North America was a topic of great controversy in the mid-late nineteenth century.  Canadian geologists notably Joseph Spencer and Sir John William Dawson favored erosion by rivers and phases of tectonic uplift and subsidence.  The modern consensus is that the basins are primarily the result of glacial erosion and local overdeepening below sea level by successive North American ice sheets over the past 2.5 million years. I will review changing ideas on the geological evolution of mid-continent North America\, the origin of the Great Lake basins and their lakes and discuss the impact of new mapping technology especially LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) which is revealing much about the work of Ice Age sheets. I will conclude by briefly discussing challenges to the waters of the Great Lakes created by human activity\, especially urbanization of their surrounding watersheds and climate warming. \nLecturer –  Nick Eyles \n\nNick was born in London\, England and is Professor Emeritus of Geology at the University of Toronto where he has conducted award-winning research\, teaching and public outreach since 1982. He is interested in the broader geological evolution of planet Earth over the past 4 billion years\, and especially recurrent Ice Ages when large ice sheets and glaciers profoundly shaped Earth’s surface. He has worked on all seven continents. He hosted two 5 part documentary series;  Geologic Journey – Canada and GJ – World for CBC’s Nature of Things which were nominated for several Gemini awards.

SUMMARY:The Fretless with Madeline Roger
DESCRIPTION:“Transforming string music into intricate\, beautiful\, high-energy arrangements\, Canada’s The Fretless have become flawless musical acrobats and Juno award winners.” – Martin Hutchinson\, Progradar \nTHE FRETLESS is a multi-award winning Canadian ensemble playing an essential part in the emerging movement mainstreaming traditional music through its transformation of the usual rhythmic\, harmonic and structured arrangements of fiddle styles from around the world. Whether performing at prominent concert halls or at renowned festivals\, The Fretless is pushing traditional music to a new place. \nThe band will be joined by special guest vocalist\, Winnipeg’s Madeleine Roger. When describing Madeleine\, Terry David Mulligan had this to say\, ‘Many years ago\, I shared a kitchen table and living room with Joni Mitchell who sang songs and wrote words on paper. I got goosebumps listening to those words and songs. A lifetime later and I’m getting the same goosebumps from Winnipeg’s Madeleine Roger.\nAn evening not to be missed! \nProudly presented by Meaford Hall
