Public to play key role in newly-created Trent Lakes Historical Society
The Municipality of Trent Lakes is pleased to announce the founding of a Trent Lakes Historical Society.
Local history brings our past home and touches your life, the lives of your family, your neighbourhood and your community.
Members of the Trent Lakes Historical Society will be permanent or seasonal residents of the Municipality of Trent Lakes, sharing a common goal of ensuring that our past is honoured through preservation. The mission of the Trent Lakes Historical Society will be the identification and the collection of historical documents including artifacts, their safe storage and organization.
This is a community project and the public will play a key role in its success. Your input is important to us and we welcome your thoughts and suggestions.
We are in the planning phase and invite all interested persons to come out to a Public Meeting to be held on Saturday, June 17, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. in the Trent Lakes Council Chambers at 760 Peterborough County Road 36, Trent Lakes.
For further information, please contact Kari Stevenson at kstevenson@trentlakes.ca or 705738-3800 extension 240.
My First Shot
The Land Between is where we live. It is also a meeting place. A meeting place of deer and moose, of cottontail and wolf, mosquito and blackfly. It is also a meeting place of people: Mississauga and Mohawk, then of First Nation and European settler, and now of city and country dweller. Therefore it is a meeting place of diverse perspectives and practices; of Liberal and Conservative; of jetsetter and maple syrup maker; and of hunter and non-hunter. It can be a place of conflict and contention or a place of learning and of wisdom.
The Land Between organization has a mandate to not only conserve the diversity of the region, but the culture and the socialeconomy of this place. To do this the organisation has decided to explore the cultural and ecological practises and perspectives of hunting. The Land Between organisation has asked a young California woman, Erin Carmody, now living in Toronto and a former vegan with advanced degrees in Psychology and Environmental Science to track an animal in the woods. And then they sent her hunting with folks in Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton.
They made a movie. This is a story of city meets country. Through interviews with experts, the feature film also explores hunting heritage; the evolution and current perspectives on hunting as well as the relationship that hunting has to conservation.
The premier screening of “My First Shot” will be at the Haliburton Highlands on Saturday,,June 17 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door.
