Fish City: Hidden Below Live Stream for Earth Day
2026-04-22 10:00 - 11:30 | Online
Join us on April 22 at 10:00 am ET for the first-ever live exploration of one of the Great Lakes’ most visually mesmerizing and least-seen underwater environments: the warm, crystal-clear waters surrounding the Bruce Power nuclear generating station on Lake Huron—one of the largest power plants on Earth.
Piloting advanced underwater robots will be Freshwater Explorers Zach Melnick and Yvonne Drebert. They will be joined by renowned fish biologist Dr. Nicholas Mandrak and Bruce Power scientist Dr. Cherie-Lee Fietsch, for this special livestream that offers extraordinary access to a thriving underwater “Fish City,” where more than a dozen species gather in a habitat shaped by human influence.
Expect close encounters with ancient bowfin—unchanged since the age of dinosaurs—alongside bigmouth buffalo, the Great Lakes’ largest sucker fish, known to live more than a century. Schools of curious smallmouth bass may be preparing to spawn, while giant walleye, freshwater drum, catfish, and rainbow trout move through the scene.
Dominating it all are vast numbers of gizzard shad—a vegetarian species that can appear in the millions, drawn to the plant’s warm outflow. And in this dynamic ecosystem, surprises are always possible: sea lamprey, salmon, diving birds, invasive carp, or even beaver may make an appearance.
For Zach and Yvonne, Fish City is one of their favourite places to explore—an unlikely freshwater world that feels more like a Mediterranean reef than a lake. Here, anything can happen.
Expect the unexpected on Hidden Below LIVE: Fish City. You may never see the Great Lakes the same way again!

ABOUT HIDDEN BELOW LIVE

This is My Vulva
2026-05-03 15:00 - 16:30 | Simcoe Street Theatre, 65 Simcoe St, Collingwood, ON L9Y 1H7, Collingwood, ON, L9Y1H7, Canada
A Bold, Embodied Performance Reclaiming the Stories We Were Never Taught to Tell
Collingwood, Ontario – May 3 – This Is My Vulva is a powerful and provocative performance that brings the voices of twelve women into the spotlight through story, movement, and cultural reflection. Blending intimate narrative with contemporary dance, the production invites audiences into a rarely spoken conversation—one that challenges shame, dismantles silence, and celebrates bodily autonomy.
Each vignette explores a woman’s relationship with her vulva—at times celebratory, at times complex, raw, humorous, or deeply moving. These stories are embodied by dancers Catherine Lafond and Jodi Behan, who interpret each narrative through expressive, emotionally resonant movement, giving physical form to what is often hidden or suppressed.
Woven between the vignettes, Fran Bouwman—artist, educator, comedian, and founder of Viva la Flying Vulva—offers historical and contemporary context, situating the personal stories within a broader cultural framework. Her reflections illuminate how social conditioning, language, medicine, and media have shaped our relationships to our bodies—and how reclamation begins with curiosity and compassion.
This Is My Vulva is not about shock value. It is about truth-telling. It is intimate without being insular, educational without being didactic, and radical in its simplicity: naming what has long been left unnamed.
“This work creates space for honesty,” says Bouwman. “When we bring these stories into the light, we begin to loosen the grip of shame—and that has a ripple effect far beyond the stage.”
The production welcomes people of all genders, offering an entry point into conversations about body literacy, self-worth, and collective healing. Audiences can expect a performance that is thoughtful, emotionally rich, and quietly revolutionary.
