He has been running his own business, Richard Thomas Communications since 1999, producing corporate and promotional videos, writing newsletters and corporate communications and more recently has devoted his time to digitizing home movies, videos, slides and photos.

Grey Roots Lecture Series - Gold of Another Kind: Allen Smutylo
2026-04-08 13:00 - 15:00 | Grey Roots, 102599 Grey Road 18, Owen Sound, ON, N4K 5N6, Canada
April 8: Gold of Another Kind – The Lost Legacy of Georgian Bay

Please note: this week’s lecture is on a Wednesday to accommodate the presenter’s schedule.
Presenter: Allen Smutylo
With the introduction of his new book, Gold of Another Kind – The Lost Legacy of Georgian Bay, Allen Smutylo’s presentation combines a historical overview with his personal account of the once staggering quality and quantity of fur bearing animals, virgin timber and multitudes of fish that once thrived in Georgian Bay and vicinity.
Beginning in the 1600s, the unrelenting thrust of European ambition for “gold of another kind” unleashed adventurous, heroic, bizarre, and tragic consequences in the New World. The pursuant plundering of each of these natural resources happened on a scale that would rival the voracity of any gold rush.
About the presenter:
Allen Smutylo’s artwork and writing has been based on extensive travels to some of the Earth’s most remote places. This includes the Amazon, the South Pacific, the Arctic, Greenland, the Himalaya, Rajasthan, the Ganges River, West Africa, Antarctica, Central America, Morocco, Patagonia and the Altai Mountains of Mongolia.
Smutylo’s images often depict specific experiences as well as geophysical elements, land and marine biology, and figurative images portraying cultural life as well as the imprint of previous lives. These ideas are often juxtaposed with elements of collage, conveying a feeling of ‘land memory’ or a mythology of place.
He has complimented his artwork with the authoring 5 books. Three of which have won or been short listed for national or international awards including The Governor General Literary Award.
The Globe and Mail called his work and his writing “… a profound and poignant meditation on the connection between landscape and culture.”
His artwork is included in over 300 corporate and public collections. His work has been exhibited in dozens of solo shows and countless group shows nationally and internationally. His adventures and art were featured in the Radio-Canada’s film The Last Frontier.
Allen Smutylo resides in Big Bay, Ontario.

Amy Milan - YOU WENT OUR TOUR
2026-04-18 19:00 - 22:00 | The Avening Hall, Airport Rd., Creemore, ON, Canada
Don’t miss this chance to get up close with one of Canada’s most iconic voices. Amy Millan — the luminous heart of Stars — is stepping onto the cozy Avening Hall stage in Creemore on Saturday, April 18 for an intimate solo performance you’ll be talking about for years.
This tour is more than a series of concerts. It’s a homecoming for the artist. With I Went To Find You, her first solo album in over 15 years (out May 30, 2025 on Last Gang Records), Amy returns to the vulnerable, soul-searching storytelling that first captured fans across the indie universe. Expect the honesty, the ache, and the shimmering warmth you know from Stars, woven with the adventurous spirit of BSS — but brought into sharp, personal focus.
Her new songs are stunning: cinematic landscapes, haunting vocals, and emotional depth that pull you right into her world. From the luminous “Make Way for Waves” to the beautifully fragile lead single “Wire Walks,” Amy’s latest work carries the same magic that made so many of us fall in love with her music in the first place.
With decades of unforgettable collaborations — Feist, Kevin Drew, Emily Haines, and the entire sprawling BSS family — Amy has shaped the soundtrack of a generation. Now she’s inviting you into a space small enough to feel every note.
This is a STANDING ROOM ONLY show, but we’re happy to make accommodations with advance notice.
Join us for an extraordinary night with Amy Millan — a rare solo appearance from a beloved artist whose music has carried so many of us through joy, heartbreak, and everything in between.

Steve Poltz
2026-04-25 19:30 - 23:00 | The Marsh Street Centre, 187 Marsh Street, Clarksburg, Ontario, Canada
SHORTEST BIO EVER WRITTEN
Steve Poltz has fun on stage. Steve Poltz has fun off stage. Every show has its own vibe. Raucous, joyous, improvisational and always strange. Stellar guitar work and songs that will have you smiling one minute and crying the next. Born in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada and raised in Southern California and now living in Nashville Tennessee. Steve Poltz tours nonstop and is the surprise sleeper hit of any festival. He also thinks he’s an attorney for dogs but that’s a whole different story. Catch him while you can. He’s elusive like Bigfoot.
