Belfast Highland Games like 'step back in time' for Islanders
Ray MacNeill dawned his traditional Scottish regalia for a step back in time Saturday. He and his family were one of many in attendance at the Belfast Celtic Festival and Highland Games. "I'm kind of overdressed today, but I do wear the old regalia when I do go out to the games," he said. "It just goes [a] step back in time … for us anyway. But it's all about ceremony and tradition." MacNeill said he thinks it's important that members of his family attend to better connect to their roots. He said his family first arrived on the Island in 1808. His family tries to attend as many Highland Games as they can. The Belfast Pipe and Drum Band's traditional music filled the air during the first day of three at the event that highlights Scottish culture. Band member Sarrah Wood said she always wanted to play the bagpipes. "Not many kids had that same dream or aspiration that I did," said Wood, who joined the band in 2013. She has since performed across the Island, and even abroad. "Piping has been great, it's gotten me to travel all around the Maritimes, to Ontario and Scotland, and it's such a neat thing," she said. The Belfast event has been around for 158 years. COVID interrupted it for two years. "It's really nice to have the Belfast Highland Games back," Wood said. "It's a nice little piece of culture in Eastern P.E.I. and something that our band has kind of been missing as well." Community significance Michele McKenna, president of the Belfast Historical Society, said the event is about bringing the community together, but there is an educational component, too. There are a number of workshops available. One on Sunday will discuss the Belfast Riot of 1847.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau Sparked ‘Instant Connection,' Source Says: 'They Have a Lot in Common' (Exclusive)
The rumored new couple stepped out together in Montréal recently, and a source tells PEOPLE they're "interested in each other"NEED TO KNOW Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry sparked romance rumors in recent days by spending time together in Montréal The pair shared dinner together on Monday, July 28, and the former Canadian prime minister attended Perry's Lifetimes Tour two days later Sources tell PEOPLE that their circumstances give then an "instant connection," but any relationship between them is in the "early stages"Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry sparked romance rumors this week with multiple outings in Montréal, and sources tell PEOPLE that something could be blossoming between the two. One Canadian source says the pair shared an attraction when they met a few months ago, and now they are both available following Perry's recent split from Orlando Bloom. However, the source adds that exploring their connection could have roadblocks given their busy personal and professional lives. "They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes,' the source says. 'She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common.' 'Music is one of many things they can share,' the source adds, with optimism being another. "Both are idealists and still live in a world where they think they can make improvements, although it has gotten more difficult.' Trudeau, 53, split from wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage. They share three teenage children. Meanwhile, Perry, 40, confirmed the end of her engagement with Bloom in early July, after they welcomed daughter Daisy in 2020. 'Their own personal responsibilities could make this relationship move slower than it would, but there are ways to see the other and still fulfill their parenting responsibilities,' the source says. 'For one thing, they each have an ex. So, duties are split in half. And long-distance relationships, while still hard, are possible for these two.' On Monday, Perry and Trudeau were photographed walking a dog through Montréal's Mount Royal Park before enjoying a meal at local restaurant Le Violon. The duo met with Chef Danny Smiles during dinner and headed to the kitchen after their meal to thank the staff. According to TMZ, Perry and Trudeau enjoyed cocktails and several dishes, though they weren't seen indulging in any PDA.

'Justin is a [politician] who is used to living a secret life with his personal activity, and wouldn't put on a public display at this stage,' another Canadian source tells PEOPLE. "He knows they were being watched and is smart enough to play it low-key for now.' '[The] timing seems good for them, although a romance is in very early stages,' the source adds. Then, on Wednesday, July 30, Trudeau was spotted in the crowd at Perry's sold-out Lifetimes Tour at Montréal's Bell Centre. The former prime minister was seen in the crowd wearing a casual black T-shirt as he smiled while watching the singer's performance, even singing along to some of her hits.

Shania Twain, 59, has used this multipurpose beauty balm since the '90s — it's the 'best of all things'
"I always thought Bag Balm was the best of all things," the Canadian country music star said. Not to be hyperbolic, but I have been obsessed with Shania Twain since I came out of the womb. I knew the lyrics to "That Don't Impress Me Much" before I learned our national anthem, and to this day, I think "Honey, I'm Home" could awaken me from a medically induced coma. Shania Twain is a Canadian national treasure and someone I trust far too much for having never met. Through Shania, I have learned two important things: head-to-toe leopard print is iconic, and the beauty secret to surviving harsh, dry weather is Vermont's Original Bag Balm. The 59-year-old has been a decades-long devotee of the moisturizing balm. In 1999, Shania mentioned Bag Balm in an interview with The London Telegraph, saying, "When I've been flying a lot and my skin is really dry, I'll rub it over my face and on my hair and leave it there all day." More recently, in an interview with Us Weekly, the Canadian country music star called the balm "the best of all things." "I try to drink as much water as I can. I have always exfoliated. I don't actually buy an exfoliator; I just make it. If I'm somewhere near the beach, I'll use sand," she told the magazine. "I believe in old-fashioned things, like a bit of Vaseline. I always thought Bag Balm was the best of all things. The cosmetic one that's been a staple for me is Crème de la Mer." Originally created in 1899 — yes, 1899 — Bag Balm is a moisturizer that was designed to heal chapped cows' udders. It's formulated with petroleum jelly and lanolin and has been made in a small town in Vermont for the past 120-odd Kyle McDavid is married to one of the world's most famous hockey players — but she's more than just a WAG I've written about beauty for 5 years — here are 6 products I continue to re-buy Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha, 36, on her surprisingly 'effortless' beauty routine Shania, alongside other beauty icons like Raquel Welch, even inspired a new generation of social media "skinfluencers" to try the product. TikTok personality Alix Earle swears by the jelly as a cure for chapped lips and dry skin, and thousands of others have recommended the long-time farmer's secret as an alternative to Vaseline for skin slugging. The healing balm works similarly to a good old tub of petroleum jelly. You can apply it to dry, cracked skin on your hands, feet, elbows and even your lips. Some people swear by it as the miracle cure for diaper rash or irritated skin, and skincare obsessives say it's ideal for slugging. Do you suffer from painful skin chafing? Bag Balm can help with that, too. More than 700 people have purchased the celebrity-approved balm on Amazon Canada in the past month. Reviewers say it not only "works" but "works harder than anything else." "I love [it] beyond words," writes one shopper. It's "even better than the expensive French hand cream I've been using for years." The salve is "wonderful," echoes another. It "heals chapped hands, feet and even diaper rash!" It's "gentle and effective." With a 4.5-star average rating, shoppers say it's beyond "worth it." It's "awesome." If you have dry, cracked skin, "this is what you want." While the vast majority of reviewers call it a moisturizing superstar, some note it's "a bit greasy," something to keep in mind when placing your order.
