SUMMARY:Gilded Eden: A Celebration of Art\, Nature\, and Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Muskoka artists Col Mitchell and Wendie Donabie invite the public into a shimmering world of imagination and reflection with their upcoming exhibition\, Gilded Eden\, at MAC on Main Gallery\, October 24 to November 9\, 2025. Visitors are warmly welcomed to the opening reception on Saturday\, October 25\, from 4-7 PM. Guests are encouraged to come gilded. \nGilded Eden is a shared vision: a sanctuary where beauty and fragility converge. The exhibition invites visitors to cherish the natural world’s living riches while reflecting on what may be lost. Featuring an array of ink on sculpted paper works\, paintings\, mixed media\, and textile work the show is both luminous and urgent\, inviting visitors to see Earth’s creatures and landscapes as treasures to be cherished. \nCol Mitchell presents her internationally recognized Pen and Ink on Sculpted Paper technique\, alongside three-dimensional mixed media and installation pieces. Her layered surfaces evoke the resilience and vulnerability of the natural world\, merging imagination with transformation. \nWendie Donabie\, acting as both observer and interpreter\, contributes paintings\, collage\, and mixed media works that echo her concern for species survival and habitat loss. Her prose and poetry\, woven throughout the exhibition\, respond directly to artworks and the theme\, creating a dialogue of image and word. \n  “It’s a celebration of the wonder of our natural world\,” says Mitchell. “The works are an invitation to pause and imagine how wonder might guide us as caretakers of Earth’s living treasures.”\n“Gilded Eden is both luminous and urgent\,” adds Donabie. “It asks us to reflect on what we cherish\, and what we cannot afford to lose.” \nMotifs throughout the exhibition include: \n·         Gold and silver: luminous symbols of Earth’s majesty rather than commodities to exploit. \n·         Gemstone-inspired details: suggesting the brilliance of nature’s living jewels. \n·         Shades of pink: a gentle reminder of fragility\, and the planet’s vulnerability. \n·         Shells: whispering of what vanishes when ecosystems are overlooked. \nThis collaboration marks a meaningful union of two established Muskoka artists whose distinct practices share a deep reverence for the Earth. Together\, they offer an immersive and unforgettable experience. Where wonder meets warning and beauty becomes a call to action. \nEvent Details \n·         Exhibition Dates: October 24 – November 9\, 2025 (Artists present throughout) \n  \n·         Opening Reception: Saturday\, October 25\, 4 – 7 PM

SUMMARY:Hate Free Muskoka Two Day Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by: \nDistrict of Muskoka’s IDEA Advisory Group (IAG)\nSimcoe Muskoka Family Connexions\nhttps://www.muskoka.on.ca/en/feedback-and-engagement/hate-free-muskoka.aspx \n_____________________________________________ \nIAG and SMFC will host a unique two-day symposium featuring engaging keynote speakers and local expert panels. This informative event will be complemented by interactive workshops\, offering opportunities to turn knowledge into action. Both days will include a delicious catered lunch for all attendees\, provided by local caterer Grandfather’s Kitchen. They use the finest ingredients to craft dishes inspired by First Nation traditions. Everything is made in-house from scratch\, using foods from across Turtle Island. \n\n\n\n\nNov 7th – “Disrupting the Tides” \nDate: Friday\, November 7th\, 2025 \nAudience: Youth and Youth-serving organizations \nTime: 10:00 am to 2:30 pm \nThe purpose of “Disrupting the Tides” is to bring together youth and youth-serving organizations across Muskoka to deepen understanding of inclusion\, diversity\, equity\, anti-racism\, and belonging. Through interactive storytelling\, shared dialogue\, and collaborative learning\, this event aims to disrupt systemic inequities that are harmful and inspire practical change within schools and community spaces. Participants will explore how to create safer\, more affirming environments and leave with actionable tools to support equitable service delivery and belonging throughout Muskoka. \n\n\n\n\nNov 8th – “Advancing Allyship: Building Kinder Communities” \nDate: Saturday\, November 8th\, 2025 \nAudience: General Public\, Business Owners\, Community Agencies \nTime: 10:00 am to 3:00 pm \nThe purpose of Advancing Allyship: Building Kinder Communities is to create a safer and more inclusive Muskoka for everyone. Building on the success of previous events\, the Hate Free Muskoka Symposium 2025 aims to inspire action. This year\, attendees will learn how to foster more inclusive spaces and address intersectionality\, as well as combat hateful and harmful actions through allyship\, intersectionality\, and bystander interventions. \nDay 2 Transportation Options: \nA bus is available to transport participants from Gravenhurst and Bracebridge to Huntsville. You may select your closest pick up/drop off location during the registration process. \nBus schedule:\nGravenhurst – 8:30 AM – Giant Tiger – 1190 Muskoka Road South \nGravenhurst – 8:40 AM – YMCA – 101 Centennial Drive \nBracebridge – 9:00 AM – Metro – 505 Muskoka District Road \nBracebridge – 9:15 AM – Home Depot – 20 Depot Drive\, R.R. 2 \n\n\n\n\nBackground \nIDEA stands for Inclusion\, Diversity\, Equity\, and Anti-Racism/Anti-Hate. The IDEA Advisory Group (IAG) is a committee of the District of Muskoka. Our vision for Muskoka is to celebrate diversity\, promote equity\, and foster inclusion while addressing issues of racism and promoting a culture of respect. One of our primary goals is to create opportunities for community engagement and public education to support this vision. \nAccording to Statistics Canada\, hate crimes in Canada increased by 72 percent between 2019 and 2021. The Canadian Race Relations Foundation estimates that 80 percent of hate crimes go unreported each year\, and Muskoka has not been immune to the rise in hate-related incidents. Hate incidents are greatly underreported\, and microaggressions continue to impact our communities. \nIn 2022\, IAG hosted the inaugural Hate Free Muskoka Symposium. This one-day event was highly successful\, and IAG was eager to follow up with another event focused on deeper learning and understanding\, while exploring steps to foster genuine allyship. \nFor this upcoming event\, IAG is pleased to be partnered with Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions (SMFC)\, a non-profit organization providing child welfare (Simcoe & Muskoka) and mental health (Muskoka only) services. SMFC’s commitment to equity and inclusion aims to enhance and sustain an equitable\, diverse\, and inclusive workplace through an anti-racist\, anti-oppressive\, and intersectionality-based approach to ensure the well-being of all\, deliver excellent service\, build meaningful partnerships and uphold strong accountability. \nThese Lands \nIn Muskoka\, we are on the traditional territory of the Anishnaabeg\, which includes the Ojibwe\, Odawa\, and Potawatomi Nations\, collectively known as the Three Fires Confederacy. The Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee Nations have also walked on this territory over time. Southern portions of Muskoka were the traditional territory of the Wendat when they resided in Simcoe County between AD 1300 and 1650 and they travelled regularly through Muskoka during those centuries. \nToday Muskoka is home to three sovereign nations: Wahta Mohawks First Nations\, Moose Deer Point First Nation and the Moon River Métis. These lands are covered by the Williams Treaty (of 1923)\, the Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850 and the J. Collins land purchase (of 1785). We must respect these treaties and ensure our governments do too. \nWe honour all Indigenous Peoples – First Nations\, Métis and Inuit – for their cultures\, their languages\, their wise teachings\, and ways of being that have shaped this country since time began.
