SUMMARY:June Artist Speaker Series: Leanne Nicholson
DESCRIPTION:June Speaker Series With Local Artist Leanne Nicholson\nJune’s artist speaker series session features a reflection on grief\, memory\, and what it means to continue after profound loss with local Melgund Township artist Leanne Nicholson. \nA sister is gone\, and nothing after that remains unchanged. Grief does not settle or resolve—it moves through the body\, reshapes attention\, and alters how life\, work\, and creative practice are experienced over time. It can be physical\, emotional\, and deeply disruptive\, often in ways that are unpredictable and ongoing. \nThe session explores grief as something lived rather than completed\, and considers how loss reorganizes daily life\, relationships\, and the body itself. It also looks at different forms of grief—sudden\, expected\, collective\, and prolonged—and how each carries its own emotional and physical impact\, unfolding in distinct and non-linear ways. \nArt as healing and expression is present throughout as a way of engaging what cannot be fully articulated. It offers a means of holding memory and experience without forcing clarity or resolution. \nSpace will be held for reflection and\, if participants wish\, for shared storytelling in a respectful and supportive environment. \nJoin us\nSunday June 7\, 2026 from 1-3 p.m.\nDyment Recreation Hall Lower Level Art Space\nMelgund Township\, Northwestern Ontario \nAbout the Speaker\nBorn in Red Lake and deeply connected to northwestern Ontario\, Leanne Nicholson is a social worker and artist whose practice is shaped by the land around her. She spent much of her childhood at her family’s cabin on McKenzie Island\, where time in nature fostered a lasting relationship with the land that continues to inform her work. Leanne works across visual and mixed-media practices\, creating wildlife imagery and pieces incorporating antlers\, bones\, and skulls. Her work transforms natural materials into expressions of life\, memory\, and continuity\, grounded in respect for the animals and the stories they carry. \nArt has also been a vital form of expression for Leanne personally\, helping her navigate experiences of depression when language was not accessible. That emotional depth carries through her work\, which often explores resilience\, reflection\, and connection. She often integrates her artistic practice into her work as a social worker\, where creativity continues to support connection\, reflection\, and healing in the communities she serves. Her creative process is rooted in time spent in the forest\, gathering what she describes as “gifts from nature” that form the basis of her work. Her practice blends land-based knowledge with contemporary visual art\, using organic materials and symbolic imagery.

SUMMARY:Parks Day: Everyone Outdoors Together
DESCRIPTION:Art Borups Corners is hosting a community BBQ and participatory park visioning event at the Dyment Recreation Hall in Borups Corners as part of Everyone Outdoors Together\, a national initiative led by the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) for Parks Day\, July 18\, 2026. \nEveryone Outdoors Together encourages people across Canada to spend time outdoors on the same day\, connecting with their local parks\, greenspaces\, and communities while participating in a shared national celebration of recreation\, nature\, and community life. In Borups Corners\, that national initiative takes shape through a local gathering at the Dyment Recreation Hall and surrounding greenspace. \nThe evening is built around a community BBQ\, creating an opportunity for neighbours\, families\, and visitors to gather\, share a meal\, enjoy music\, and spend time together outdoors in a welcoming and informal atmosphere. The pavilion and greenspace become a shared community hub where food\, conversation\, and activity unfold throughout the evening. \nIn addition to the BBQ\, participants will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on creative activities\, including drawing\, mapping\, and storytelling. These activities will help build a collective understanding of how local parks and greenspaces are used today\, while exploring ideas for how they can become more useful\, inclusive\, and engaging public spaces in the future through community-driven input and shared imagination.
