ACCESS ART
Portrait Drawing with
Chris Canales- Cisneros
Access Art has two spots available for anyone interested in participating in Beginner Portrait Drawing.
This will be held on Wednesday, August 20th, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. If you go into the Craft Room, you will see the eye, nose and mouth that the group did last time Chris was here. Pretty incredible for first time drawers.
Bring an HB pencil and a sketch pad.
Please register with Lorri or Lynn at the office. The phone number for the club is 705-361-1331.
Our Canadian Flag
Doesn’t our beautiful Canadian Flag, designed and created by Mary Hickey and Don Whitfield, made out of wood, stand out so proudly?
If you didn’t see it when you drove in, look at the front of the building – you can’t miss it.
Congratulations, it looks amazing.
Burning of the Old Canadian Flags
I sent out information that we would have a flag-burning ceremony, before reading the below.
I have since found out:
- Flags made of natural fibres (wool, cotton, linen) should be burned in a dignified manner, privately, without ceremony or public attention being drawn to the destruction of the material.
- Flags made of synthetic material (nylon or polyester) should not be burned due to environmental damage and potential fire hazard. They should be respectfully torn into strips, with each element of the flag reduced to a single colour, so that the remaining pieces do not resemble a flag. The individual pieces should then be placed in a bag for disposal – the shreds of fabric should not be reused or repurposed in any way.
I apologize if I offended anyone. We thought we were helping you get rid of old flags.

Dylan Locke Cruise, July 11th
Crusing with Dylan Locke
Friday, July 11th, 2o25
Our Travel Committee purchased tickets for 30+ Bay Shore members to go on a cruise with local celebrity Dylan Lock aboard the Georgian Legacy! We got to enjoy the beautiful historic sights of Georgian Bay, as he serenaded us with live music from the 1960s to the present day.
Thank you, Kim K, Deb G, and the travel committee, for a beautiful night cruise. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. The sunset was spectacular. Everyone had a wonderful time.
For those of us who were the first off the Georgian Legacy, we got to see Dylan Locke perform a “flag exercise” as his final act of the night. He has certainly been exercising and looks amazing.
