Black History Month: The Fabric of Our Being
2026-02-28 13:00 - 15:00 (America/Toronto) | Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre, 33 Victoria St N, Southampton, ON, Canada
Join artist and President’s Poet Nadine Williams for a powerful, hands-on public art experience honouring the International Decade for People of African Descent—a UN global initiative recognizing the contributions, histories, and rights of people of African descent, and encouraging communities to learn, reflect on, and celebrate diversity.
Each person will create an 8.5” x 11” tile (materials will be provided)—or contribute ideas for a tile—representing “the fabric of your being”: your experiences, values, culture, or the elements that make you YOU. These individual pieces will be designed and stitched together by The Nadine Williams Collective to form a collaborative quilt that will be publicly unveiled at a later date and permanently displayed at the BCM&CC as a symbol of diversity, inclusion, and shared community pride.
This inclusive program welcomes everyone to participate. No art experience is required.
Ages 8+, children must be accompanied by an adult; all registrants must be preregistered.
FREE; Space is limited, preregistration required.
Funding for this project is provided by Community Foundation Grey Bruce.

Puff Pastry Class
2026-02-28 09:00 - 12:00 | Red Hen Artisanale, 384265 Concession 4, Priceville, Ontario, N0C 1K0, Canada
Level up your baking game with a hands-on and demonstration style workshop focused on perfecting those flaky, buttery puff pastries!

During this Puff Pastry Workshop, we will learn how to make delicate, buttery, flaky puff pastry from start to finish – by hand. Lots of rolling pin action! We will discuss the different types of laminated doughs and fats available for home use.
We will start with kneading together our “detrempe”, the dough that will encase all of the butter, and while the gluten is resting we will measure out and shape our butter block. Throughout the workshop we will roll out our dough again and again, with our butter enclosed, creating the many perfeclty flaky layers of buttery puff pastry we love and admire.
While our dough is resting between folds, we will discuss the different options for using up your puff pastry block, both sweet and savoury. I will also demonstrate how to create a classic tarte tatin, as well as a few other delicious treats. And of course everyone will get a chance to taste test everything that comes out of the oven. As we will be finishing up the workshop before noon, this dough can easily be used for an appetizer or dinner application.
This workshop takes place in the private cooking studio of Red Hen Artisanale, right in the heart of Grey County on the Saugeen River. Want to see what the space and property look like? Click this link!
At the end of the workshop you’ll leave with the recipes we create and your own handmade brick of puff pastry that can be used anytime over the next few days, or even frozen for something special in the future.

Run Where You Are - Say Yes!
2026-02-24 19:00 - 21:00 | ON
RUN WHERE YOU ARE — SAY YES! ENCOURAGES WOMEN TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP TOWARD MUNICIPAL LEADERSHIP
Virtual panel connects aspiring candidates with real-world insight ahead of the 2026 municipal election

As communities across Ontario prepare for the 2026 municipal elections, Run Where You Are – Say Yes! is calling on women and gender-diverse people to take the next step toward public leadership. The free, non-partisan virtual event is produced by six grassroots campaign schools across Ontario, including Grey Bruce’s electHER Now. The online event will take place on Tuesday, February 24, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. EST, and is open to participants across the province.

Building on the momentum of the 2025 Run Where You Are initiative, Say Yes! is designed for those who are curious about running for office, actively considering a campaign, or seeking clarity on what leadership could look like in their own community. The free event focuses on breaking down barriers, addressing self-doubt, and offering practical insight from those who have already said “yes” to leadership.

“Many women don’t always recognize just how ready they already are for leadership,” says Laura Wood, Co-Founder of electHER Now, “the Say Yes event will help people see that the skills they possess today have prepared them for leadership at the local political table tomorrow.”

The virtual panel will feature municipal leaders from across Ontario who will share candid reflections on their paths to public office, including lessons learned, challenges faced, and what they wish they had known before running.

Confirmed panellists include:

Joan John, councillor, Township of Southgate
Michelle Boileau, mayor of Timmins
Marilyn Crawford, councillor, Town of Ajax
Tammy Hwang, councillor, City of Hamilton
Melanie Pilon, mayor of Wawa

Despite progress in recent years, women and gender-diverse people remain underrepresented in municipal leadership across Ontario. Run Where You Are – Say Yes! aims to help close that gap by offering accessible, community-driven entry points into politics.

Run Where You Are – Say Yes! is free to attend, with advance registration required

In August of that same year, The Bookends had the honour of joining internationally acclaimed Canadian artist Loreena McKennitt in a series of performances at select folk festivals in Ontario. Some of these shows were captured for McKennitt’s latest Juno nominated live album The Road Back Home.

Frost, Fires and Feast - Winter Culinary Adventure
2026-02-21 13:00 - 17:00 | ReLive Retreat, Priceville, ON
1:00 and 2:00 pm start times

A Winter Culinary Adventure

Step into the quiet beauty of winter at ReLive Retreat — where snow softens the land and open flames become a gentle guide.
The forest rests beneath a blanket of white, frost glimmers across the meadows, and the crisp air carries notes of smoke, spice, and something warm waiting ahead.
You’ll wander our looping winter trails, moving from one glowing fireside moment to the next. Each stop reveals a new scene: cast-iron pots simmering over flame, sweet dough browning in the embers, warm drinks sending up curls of steam, and laughter drifting between the trees.
Frost, Fires & Feast is our signature winter culinary adventure — a three-hour, fire-led journey celebrating food, warmth, and the quiet magic of midwinter. Along the way, you’ll visit five distinct fireside destinations, each thoughtfully designed to warm your hands, delight your palate, and deepen your connection to the land.
Taste dishes prepared over open flame by passionate creators. Sip curated winter drinks beside a glowing fire. Walk the trail alongside our miniature goats and sheep. Pause near the river valley as soups simmer slowly, then gather at the final ember for a sweet farewell before the forest closes in behind you.
Limited to just 40 guests, the experience remains intimate, unhurried, and deeply personal. This is winter at its most elemental — simple, warming, and quietly unforgettable.

An A chord, D chord and E chord later he knew “Amazing Grace” and there was no turning back.
JD Crosstown is a singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music weaves together the roots of folk, country, and blues.
