Great idea - partnership with Trent to offer arts & humanities programs - even School of Ed would better serve its teacher candidate program in a downtown location. Reminds one of McMaster U & City of Hamilton who relocated some offices, classrooms and programs to Eaton Square across from AGH.

Ireland plans to make a $1,500 a month basic income for artists permanent Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts experiment has given creatives a weekly payment for three years. Now, a permanent program could be on the way.

In a win for the arts and universal basic income, Ireland plans to make permanent a $1,500-a-month pilot program for artists, citing benefits to creativity, mental health, and financial stability.

There’s a missing kid near Jackson Park in Peterborough. 10 yrs old. Blonde curly hair, blue two-tone sweater, glasses. If you’re in this area and see her, please call the police.

My column tomorrow: Imagine if Canada Post's transition to community mailboxes in dense, mature neighbourhoods was approached as the world’s largest installation of functional public art - beautiful, locally representative objects set within the urban landscape of every Canadian city.

If only this idea for public art would find fodder in unique ways in our communities - thanks for sharing this idea!

"Genie in a bottle" to the tune of "Message in a Bottle" by the Police - mostly the refrain on repeat - when she arrives back from a long day hunting.

The comparison is not lost. Art Galleries are frequently compared to 'tombs' so why can't ROM become The Bay?

$3000 fine for #offleashdogs in #JacksonPark #Peterborough but who actually #enforcesthebylaw ? I would be very rich for each time an owner with #offleashdog told me how #friendly their pet is. I've been bitten by an #offleashdog and my partner has been threatened and chased by same while #cycling
