Berm Care

There are three city berm areas that the Community of Artists has volunteered to care for – just across from Bud Miller All-Seasons Park, 57A Avenue & 25th Street, and 53rd Avenue & 25th Street. 

The Jewelry Guild have volunteered to care for the Bud Miller area. The Quilt Guild had also volunteered. We are looking for a third arts group.

What is involved? Just weeding – starting in the spring. Your group will not need to water or plant.

Second Cup

Friends of the Performing Arts (FOPA) will soon begin preparations for Mardi Gras 2014 (February 15 at Stockade Convention Centre). This will mark the 17th year of what has become the roots of community-focused musical support. Mardi Gras 2013 boasted 15 bands, buskers, and dance performance groups, performing in front of a very festive and enthusiastic sold out crowd. Mardi Gras 2013 raised a record $23,000. In fact, since 2008 the Friends of the Performing Arts have raised $70,000. 100% of the proceeds is donated to local music, band and drama programs, music and dance festivals, and various scholarships.

FOPA is now seeking more members. If you are interested in organizing, volunteering, or coordinating in any capacity, we would love to hear from you. We will hold a brief meeting on Monday October 7th at 7pm at the Second Cup. Discussion will include honorariums for coordinators and volunteer assignments. Please contact Cindy Gratton (FOPA president) if you plan on attending, or if you are interested in helping but cannot attend the meeting.

Songs like “Mans Gotta Be Stone”. “Voodoo Thing”, “Into the Mystic”, “Lost Again”, “Keep On Loving Me Baby”. “Let's Shout”, and many more have helped James secure a following of fans in North America that would be the envy of many an artist. He has won 6 coveted Juno awards, 18 Maple Blues Awards including Entertainer of the Year for 2012, and several of his albums have reached gold and platinum status. His newest CD is “Twenty Five Live” recorded on the last of a three night sold out stand at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver. James spans many musical genres from blues to rock, R and B to Swing…and you'll hear them all on his latest Western Canada Tour.

The villagers of Chipping Cleghorn, including Miss Marple, are agog with curiosity over an advertisement in the local gazette which reads: 'A murder is announced and will take place on Friday October 13, at Little Paddocks at 6.30 pm.' A childish practical joke or a hoax? Unable to resist the mysterious invitation, a crowd begins to gather at Little Paddocks when, at the appointed time, the lights go out and a gun is fired.

Joe and Joel Fafard: Oct 19

A Tune To Art: Sculpture and Song
Oct 19
The Root: Community Emporium
$20 Advance
$25 At Door


An Order of Canada-winning sculptor and his Juno-nominated musician son combine a concert and visual art show.

High art meets deep roots as an Order of Canada- winning sculptor and his Juno-nominated musician son present one of the most unique concert experience—a combination concert and visual art show all rolled into one.

A Tune To Art: Sculpture and Song showcases new works by Joe Fafard and a new duo project by Joël Fafard that sees him teaming up with Toronto guitarist Joel Schwartz.

Joe Fafard has created some of the most recognizable public art in the country, including the Running Horses that greet visitors outside the National Gallery of Canada. His life-size bronze bull sculpture, Royal Sweet Diamond, stands in front of the B.C. Turf building in Vancouver. His bronze cows “graze” outside the Toronto Dominion Centre in Toronto. And Do re mi fa sol la si do, a herd of steel-cut horses, runs through downtown Calgary (see my photo below) and along the St. Lawrence River in Quebec City. Joe has been awarded the Order of Canada, the Sask- atchewan Order of Merit, and the Medal in Allied Arts from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. He has also been presented with honorary degrees from the universities of Regina and Manitoba, and his work has appeared on a series of postage stamps

The younger Fafard has carved out a music career that has included stints as a singing, song-writing roots rocker, an acoustic guitar instrumentalist, and, most recently, a southern roots and blues revivalist. Joël’s has been rewarded with a Juno nomination, a Western Canadian Music Award, a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination, and an International Acoustic Music Award nomination.
