| "Fernie at War: 1914-1919" Presentation & Book Signing @ Greater Vernon Museum & Archives Fernie, a small community located in BC’s Kootenay region, emerged from the First World War with multiple controversies that threatened to tear their community apart. Just over a hundred years later, Wayne Norton chronicles the trials and tribulations of the BC city in his book Fernie at War: 1914-1919. The British Columbia Historical Federation awarded Norton with the Community History Award which recognizes local and community history. The public is invited to Norton’s presentation at the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives (3009 32ndAvenue) for a concise and in-depth presentation on Fernie at War and history pertaining to Vernon on Saturday, October 6, 2018 at 1 PM. Admission is by donation. Space is limited. Pre-registration required (Call 250-542-3142). All are welcome. Books will be available for sale & signing. Fernie at War explores what it meant to live in Fernie during the confusing and divisive years of the Great War and its aftermath. As a resource-based economy with unusually large and varied immigrant populations, and exceptionally high recruitment levels, Fernie was profoundly affected by conflicting impulses of labour, loyalty and ethnicity. Demands for internment of enemy aliens, resistance to prohibition and moral reform, the consequences of natural and man-made disasters, the unprecedented banning of recruitment, and the western labour revolt were all issues that contributed to a war-time experience for Fernie that was more dramatic and more revealing of underlying tensions than that of any other Canadian community. About the book, Donna Sacuta, Executive Director of the BC Labour Heritage Centre, says “Fernie at War is a fine example of how labour and popular history can be presented in an accessible and highly readable manner...” Wayne Norton is a writer, publisher and historical consultant living in Victoria, BC. He has written extensively on a variety of topics including music of the First World War, historic women’s ice hockey, prairie settlement, public health, and the local histories of Kamloops and Fernie. He is the author of eight books and has published in British ColumbiaHistory, The Globe and Mail, BC Studies and The Vancouver Sun. For more, go to https://www.caitlin-press.com/. |

| Writing Through Grief with Janelle Hardy @ Caetani Cultural Centre Writing Through Grief is about witnessing and allowing for the full range of feelings that come with loss. It’s hard to grieve fully and deeply when grieving is not honoured or supported, and when the people and culture around you feel so uncomfortable with your feelings and their own. How do we grieve when we’ve never seen anyone go through a healthy grieving process? How do we grieve when we can’t cry around our loved ones? How do we grieve when we don’t know how? Writing Through Grief is a discovery of the beauty that comes on the other side of grief. The sparkling moments of joy and connection, all of which are only possible because of the grieving that has been done – the crying of tears, the anger, the sadness, the acceptance of how unfair life can be. It is through honouring our grief that we come to understand and honour our joy better. In this series we’ll use a writing circle format with creative writing prompts to explore and move through your grief in a deep, kind and joyful way. |

Guy has had his musical storytelling influenced by artists like Blind Willie McTell and Big Bill Broonzy, and his musicality from artists as diverse as Lightnin’ Hopkins and Babatunde Olatunji. However, there’s one man that Guy most credits for his harmonica techniques, by stealing and crediting from him everything that he could, and that man is the legendary Sonny Terry. |
