About The Public Service:
Nova Scotia-based indie-folk band, The Public Service, operate on the foundational belief that sharing your gifts is a public service. TPS serves up high energy indie-rock sing-alongs and a live show that packs the dance floor. The Public Service was born when front man George Woodhouse publicly challenged himself to write and publish a song a week for one year, with the dream of playing them in front of a real audience. At the end of the project, a small group of friends helped him strike up a band, which became The Public Service. Six years later, The Public Service is growing the dream, having now played the most treasured stages on the East Coast, including closing Stan Rogers Folk Fest in 2023 and performing at the 2023 IIHF World Juniors in Kjipuktuk / Halifax. Their debut album, Songs For The Living (2022) , was released under the name George Woodhouse and The Public Service, but the band shortened its name in 2023. Their 2024 single, Float Off, reached no. 7 on CIOE’s East Coast Top 30. The band is currently working with award winning Producer, Alex Meade on their second studio album, set for release in late 2025. TPS features Joss MacNeil on vocals, Jan Lapierre on lead guitar, Justin Huston on bass, Andrew MacCormack on drums, and George Woodhouse on guitar and vocals.

Lecture Series: Women, Peace and Security at NATO
2025-01-30 10:00 - 12:00 | Online
Bluewater Association for Lifelong Learning Presents: Women, Peace and Security.
This week: Women, Peace and Security at NATO
Lecturer: Stéfanie von Hlatky
In her book Deploying Feminism, Stéfanie von Hlatky tells the story of how NATO militaries have been delegated authority to advance gender equality as part of their activities, while simultaneously tackling increasingly complex threats. Drawing upon fieldwork and interviews, she illustrates how NATO, the world’s foremost alliance, has even embedded these ideas in the planning and execution of missions. For troops deployed on NATO missions, this often means seeking out women in their operating area to improve intelligence gathering activities. While this helps the mission, does it help women and conflict-affected communities? Looking at NATO’s operations in Iraq, Kosovo, and the Baltics, Professor von Hlatky shows how gender equality can become a true planning priority.

2025-01-30 19:30 - 2025-02-02 16:00 | ON
This play is a comedy, a romance, and a mystery with a bit of fantasy thrown in. Peter and Rita meet each other at a party in NYC and fall in love quite quickly and in short order decide to marry. A mysterious event at their wedding leaves the couple struggling to renew their intimacy in bizarrely altered circumstances. Audiences contemplate intellectual/philosophical questions when an old man suddenly occupies the bride’s body and leaves her within the confines of his old man body. The groom sees past the lovely shell of his wife and successfully searches out his real bride. The mystery is whether Peter will figure out how to switch the two souls back to their rightful bodies, or will he continue to live with and love the soul of his bride in an old man’s body.

Celebrating The Colour Magenta
2025-02-01 14:00 - 16:00 | L.E. Shore Library, Thornbury, ON, Canada
The Exhibit
Each year, The Gallery’s Arts & Culture Council hosts a vibrant, color-themed exhibition, with past themes including blue, green, gold, turquoise, and more. Local artists are invited to submit artwork that aligns with the chosen color, and the exhibit is displayed in a “salon style,” with artwork covering the walls from floor to ceiling. This format creates a rich, immersive experience, allowing a wide range of creative interpretations of the theme while offering viewers a dynamic visual journey.
The term “salon style” originates from the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture’s regular exhibitions, which began in Paris in 1667. To showcase the work of so many students, the academy hung paintings as close together as possible, right from the floor to the ceiling! When the exhibition moved to the Salon Carre at the Louvre in 1725, the show became known simply as the “Salon”.
