Artist Timothy Brown Takes the Helm at Prairie Fusion Arts and Entertainment
A new era is underway at Prairie Fusion Arts and Entertainment as Timothy Brown steps into the role of executive director, taking over from Lorna Knight, who had led the organization since 2023. Brown, who began the position on May 6, brings a strong background in visual arts and arts education. A recent graduate of the University of Manitoba's Master of Fine Arts program, Brown has also taught at the university, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, and the Graffiti Gallery. He previously worked at the Artists Emporium, where he helped develop its education program, and is active in the Manitoba arts scene. He also attended the the Banff Centre's Early Career Artist Residency in January 2024. 'I'm getting to know the gallery, the building, and the staff,' Brown said. 'We're already looking ahead to summer programming and preparing for our season-long content series, with plans for new programming in the fall.' Originally from Brandon, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) in 2017, Brown is currently commuting from Winnipeg while his family — including two young children — finishes out the school year. While the drive to Portage la Prairie is longer, he says it's often more efficient than battling Winnipeg rush hour traffic. He'll have another year of commuting until his wife's teaching contract ends. Brown is passionate about community engagement and sees Prairie Fusion as a vital hub for Portage and the surrounding area. He hopes to expand with more collaboration opportunities. 'We're hoping to bring in some partnerships and sponsorships, connections from galleries and other institutions, from Regina to Winnipeg, and see if we can draw people into the community.' While he wraps up his other roles, Brown is still working on a public art project involving youth with The Graffiti Gallery — painted sculptures similar to the 'Bears on Broadway' initiative in Winnipeg, where he mentors youth in painting concrete bison sculptures destined for display at the Assiniboine Park Zoo. 'It's really cool to bring kids to a site where they can actually paint the work themselves,' said Brown. 'That kind of hands-on experience is what sticks with them.' While it's still early in his role, Brown said he'd love to organize more public art for Portage. 'There's a lot of great programming here already, like the Reel Event with Toronto International Film Festival films, that's amazing,' he said. Brown says the transition into leadership is going well, and he's eager to collaborate with the Prairie Fusion team, while bringing fresh energy and ideas to the organization.

Gananoque lends its ears
GANANOQUE — There was no shortage of shouting in Gananoque over the weekend, but not a single tear in sight. The Ontario Guild of Town Criers descended on Gananoque for its Provincial Town Crier Championships, a lively competition celebrating a centuries-old tradition of voice-powered storytelling. Originally scheduled to take place outdoors, the competition was moved to The Royal Theatre due to rain and poor weather, but that didn't dampen the spirits, or the decibel levels, of participants. The weekend featured three competitive 'cries,' judged by rotating panels of five to six adjudicators per round. Some of the judges throughout the weekend included Gananoque Mayor John Beddows and Deputy Mayor Vicki Leakey, who helped evaluate the criers on everything from content and clarity to presentation and style. The championship kicked off Saturday with a 'Hometown Cry,' followed by a researched cry on Gananoque and the Thousand Islands. On Sunday, competitors delivered a humorous cry on what it means to be a Town Crier, before wrapping up with an awards ceremony. The event's top honours went to Chris Whyman, Kingston's Town Crier, who earned a first-place finish, while Liam Cragg, of Alnwick/Haldimand in Northumberland County, and Bill McKee, of Uxbridge, Scugog and the City of Oshawa, tied for second place. [caption id="attachment_3044231" align="alignnone" width="1000"] Chris Whyman, official Town Crier for the City of Kingston, takes top honours at the Ontario Provincial Town Crier Championships in Gananoque, earning first place with his commanding voice, presence, and historic flare. KEITH DEMPSEY/Local Journalism Initiative[/caption] As part of the two-day event, a special dinner was held Saturday evening. Criers Bill McKee, Andrew Welch (Orangeville, Caledon,Erin), Les Whiting (Petrolia), Mark Molnar (St. Catharines, Lincoln) and Bruce Kruger (Bracebridge, Wiarton, Owen Sound) all received their long service bars for many years in the guild. Steve Clark, the MPP for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, attended the event's opening ceremonies alongside local MP Michael Barrett, Beddows, Leeds and the Thousand Islands Mayor Corinna Smith-Gatcke, and Gananoque Poet Laureate Gretchen Huntley. 'Kudos to host Town Crier Brian Mabee and everyone involved in bringing this wonderful event and showcase for this proud tradition to the community,' said Clark. And during a ceremonial moment, Beddows received warm greetings from Jennifer Templeman Olivero, official Town Crier for the Town of Hanover, who brought well wishes from Hanover Mayor Sue Paterson and Council. In return, Beddows extended greetings on behalf of the Town of Gananoque to the residents of Hanover, marking a moment of camaraderie and connection between communities.

SUBMITTED PHOTO[/caption] The competition was hosted by Mabee, Gananoque's own Town Crier and a Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands councillor, who led the organizing efforts. Town Criers were once known as the 'newspapers of the day,' dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries. Long before social media or print, these boisterous figures delivered royal decrees, public announcements, and news to the gathered masses, often starting with the trademark attention-grabber: 'Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!' The weekend's event attracted not only criers and officials but plenty of enthusiastic locals who embraced the tradition with open arms and ears. 'Congratulations Chris, Liam Cragg and Bill, and to Brian Mabee and Town of Gananoque for a fabulous competition!' said Olivero. 'We greatly enjoyed your wonderful hospitality and friendly community.' Deputy Mayor Vicki Leakey also praised the efforts behind the scenes. 'Congratulations Brian Mabee, this weekend event was enjoyed by all,' said Leakey. 'Thanks to you, Tina and all the other helpers that contributed to the success. Also a big shout out to the Royal Theatre for saving the day and providing a wonderful dry venue on a rainy weekend.'

Mother's Day afternoon tea returns to Bell Homestead
Nearly 50 people attended the Bell Homestead's fourth annual Eliza's Mother's Day Afternoon Tea on Sunday, May 11, 2025. Prior to the pandemic, the national historic site put on a buffet brunch, however with increasing interest for an afternoon high tea experience, organizers opted for an alternative format with two separate sittings. Katy McDonald, museum assistant for the Bell Homestead, said that Sunday's menu was all homemade in the homestead's café. 'Today we have a couple of different sandwich options. We have egg salad on a croissant, ham and havarti cheese on multigrain, a classic cucumber sandwich with mayo and dill on top, and chicken salad sandwiches,' she said. 'For dessert, we have two different kinds of scones, blueberry and plain, as well as hello dolly bars, brownies and shortbreads. Of course, we're also serving up orange pekoe tea, a decaf early gray, and we started the guests off with a nice, fresh mimosa.' Following each sitting, guests also had the opportunity to head over to the old Bell family home with one of the homestead's two summer students for a small self-guided tour. McDonald added that even if people have visited the historic site before, the event is a nice opportunity for them to experience something new. 'It's a great way for us to bring people back to the homestead and offer them something a bit different. Even if they've visited the café before for dessert, these days we don't typically serve lunch so it's a nice little sit-down experience for them,' she said. 'It's a pretty popular little event and once it's advertised, it typically sells out pretty fast; even this year, it sold out a couple weeks ago. I think a lot of the people who come to the event love it, they usually bring their friends and their kids along so it's nice to see everyone having a good time.' The Drake family, who were attending the event for the first time, said they were impressed with the event. 'It's just lovely, the atmosphere is wonderful, the little teacups are just gorgeous and the food has been delightful,' said Linda Drake. 'It's awesome that they're all dressed up and in character too,' added Dawna Drake. 'I also like that it's really quite lovely and cozy here, it has a nice intimate kind of feel to it. It's really been a whole experience and we're looking forward to heading over for the tour afterwards too.'
