‘Go for things': Chainsaw artists show off their skills in Manitou Beach, Sask.
The Manitou Beach Chainsaw Festival drew talent from near and far to showcase their skills in a four-day competition. 'I think it's really great that we have people coming in to watch us and taking advantage of the opportunity to come out and see this kind of production here in the middle of Saskatchewan,' Sherwin Petersen, a Manitou Beach Chainsaw Festival committee member, said. The festival runs every other year, and 2025 marks the sixth time that Manitou Beach has hosted the event. Jim Niedermayer from Pine Falls competed as an artist in the very first festival 12 years ago and has returned every year since. 'Everybody shares everything. We're not all going to live long enough to learn everything ourselves, so everybody helps everybody. And even though it's a competition, we still all help. I'm really happy to be here on such a great day,' Niedermayer said. Niedermayer's sentiments were echoed by Paradzi Havatitye, an artist who travelled all the way from Ireland to take part in the festival. 'It's like a big family, although we are in a competition, everybody is still very helpful, communicates very well, and we're really having fun. It's more about having fun, creating something, and learning something from somebody else,' Havatitye said. Various winners are awarded at the end of the festival on Sunday. The public, the organizing committee, and the artists all select winners. While the artists are on a time crunch, Havatitye shared that the atmosphere remained positive throughout the weekend, and he is looking forward to returning for the next festival in 2027. 'It's kind of like excitement. That's all it is. You get really excited, you go for things. If you're stressed doing art, you're in the wrong profession,' Havatitye said.

Corn maze in Vankleek, Ont. celebrates Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope
Ouimet Farms in Vankleek Hill is honouring Terry Fox with a corn maze to celebrate the 45th anniversary of his Marathon of Hope. 'He is a true Canadian icon and we thought we would pay a tribute to what he's done and his legacy,' says Andre Ouimet, owner of Ouimet Farms Adventure in eastern Ontario. Ouimet says the thought came about this past winter and has been planning for it since December. 'We come up with the idea, then we have to put it on paper, digitize it and then we go into the field and draw it out and then corn comes up and it looks amazing,' says Ouimet. The maze is a scavenger hunt filled with Terry Fox trivia and puzzle pieces. The farm has a Terry Fox exhibit in its museum that also has fun facts, history and a map of Fox's journey. Vankleek Hill Visitors walk through the Ouimet Farms corn maze in Vankleek Hill on Aug. 10, 2025. (Camille Wilson/CTV News Ottawa) Noella St. Pierre and her family come from Halifax every year to visit her cousins in Ottawa to do the annual corn maze. 'We've been doing this for three years now. We come at around the same time,' said Guy St. Pierre, doing maze with family of eight. The family says they split up into two groups to make it a competition to see who gets through first, but say it's mostly about having fun. The farm has been creating pictures out of crops for the past 13 years to honour the Queen, Canada, farmers, astronauts, Disney and others. 'But this is pretty special to us - Terry Fox, can't say more about it,' says Ouimet. The maze is all fun but is also in support of a good cause. 'We have been in contact with the Terry Fox Foundation. They're very supportive of it. We are going to be making a donation at the end of the season. Every entry a portion of our proceeds will be given to Terry Fox Foundation,' says Ouimet. The farm is filled with fun for the whole family with many attractions. The corn maze is open every weekend until the end of October.
