Welcome to the Northern and Rural Community Safety Symposium! Date: August 26th, 2025 Location: Laurentian University - 935 Ramsey Lake Rd, Sudbury, ON (Fraser Building) Welcome to the 1st Biennial Northern and Rural Community Safety Symposium! This one-day tricultural event brings together researchers, practitioners, community stakeholders, and those with lived experience to discuss and exchange knowledge, challenges, experiences, research findings, and perceptions on northern and rural community safety (NRCS). Northern and rural communities have unique safety concerns compared to urban areas, and the geographical and social differences make responses particularly complex. Community consultation has led to the identification of three primary themes: Sex Trafficking, Intimate Partner Violence, and Mental Health and Addiction. This symposium is meant to respond to the intricate nature of NRCS and bring academics and community stakeholders together, which we hope will be the first step in a collective effort to respond to community safety in northern and rural communities. We anticipate the relationships, experiences, and knowledge fostered by the symposium can be leveraged to produce collaborative and community-based innovations and responses. This is your chance to share, learn from, or engage with experiences of community safety! Please mark your calendars and stay tuned for the registration and website to be live momentarily. ----------- Bienvenue a la symposium sur la sécurité dans les communautés nordiques et rurales Date: Août 26, 2025 Emplacement: Université Laurentienne - 935 Ramsey Lake Rd, Sudbury, ON (Bâtiment Fraser) Bienvenue au premier symposium biennal sur la sécurité dans les communautés nordiques et rurales! Cet événement triculturel d'une journée rassemble des chercheurs, des praticiens, des intervenants communautaires et des personnes ayant une expérience vécue pour discuter et échanger des connaissances, des défis, des expériences, des résultats de recherche et des perceptions sur la sécurité des communautés nordiques et rurales (NRCS). Les communautés nordiques et rurales sont confrontées à des problèmes de sécurité uniques par rapport aux zones urbaines, et les différences géographiques et sociales rendent les réponses particulièrement complexes. La consultation des communautés a permis d'identifier trois thèmes principaux : Le trafic sexuel, la violence entre partenaires intimes, et la santé mentale et la toxicomanie. Ce symposium a pour but de répondre à la nature complexe du NRCS et de rassembler les universitaires et les acteurs communautaires, ce qui, nous l'espérons, constituera la première étape d'un effort collectif visant à répondre à la sécurité communautaire dans les communautés nordiques et rurales. Nous pensons que les relations, les expériences et les connaissances favorisées par le symposium peuvent être mises à profit pour produire des innovations et des réponses collaboratives et basées sur la communauté. C'est l'occasion de partager, d'apprendre ou de s'engager dans des expériences de sécurité communautaire! Veuillez noter dans vos agendas que les inscriptions et le site web seront bientôt en ligne.

A part of Sudbury Performance Group's Her Northern Voice Music Festival. Canada's #1 tribute to Shania Twain is coming as part of Sudbury Performance Group's Her Northern Voice music festival. Book now to ensure your spot! "A special, memorable show!" Donna Huber's childhood was not a typical one. Her father was in "Retail" and was transferred frequently. Because Donna traveled often as a child, this type of life became normal for her and she continues to travel to this day. Now performing as Shania Twin, the top Shania Twain tribute. After leaving home, Donna settled in the small village of Thessalon, Ontario. She resided there for 3 years and was extremely successful with her small bakery business which she operated from her farm house situated on 160 acres of land. She then moved to Sudbury to live and work with her sister. It was here that she was surprised and pleased to receive compliments from strangers commenting on how she looks like "Shania Twain". Even Shania Twain had commented that after seeing a poster of Donna, "I thought that was me!!! Donna is the best 'Shania Twain tribute out there." Donna put in countless hours practicing to sing like Shania, watching her videos over and over, studying to emulate her moves and the way she presented herself. Donna met with an agent in the music business and after listening to her sing, and not to mention her uncanny resemblance to one of country music’s most beautiful and successful women, it was obvious that Donna was about to embark on something that would change her life forever. They worked to put a band together, practiced for a few months, and the rest is history. Donna has been on the road since March of 1996 as the most successful Shania Twain tribute Act in Canada and throughout the United States and Europe. Special Guests Naked Soul Naked Soul is a powerhouse husband-and-wife duo known for their killer vocals, raw emotion, and electrifying energy.

Whether delivering stripped-down acoustic ballads or high-octane anthems, Naked Soul leaves it all on the stage—authentic, fearless, and unforgettable. Music Mel Music Mel is a passionate vocalist and performer who takes today’s biggest hits and transforms them into powerful emotional experiences. With a gift for uncovering the raw heart of a song, she breathes new life into familiar lyrics, revealing the soul behind the sound. Whether on stage or in the studio, Music Mel connects deeply with her audience, using her voice to tell stories that resonate. Honest, heartfelt, and fearless, she doesn’t just sing the music—she feels it, and makes sure you do too. Information Source: Sudbury Performance Group | eventbrite

Brand new creative writing workshop - Creative Writing in a Day Always wanted to write but not sure where to start? Have loved writing previously but need to reinvigorate your passion and spark some ideas? Everyone is welcome on this brand new workshop. ............................................................................................................................................. During this one-day workshop you will cover the three foundations of writing: believable characters, convincing settings and strong plotting. With plenty of activities to get you writing (including a short ‘field trip’), by the end of the day you will have an outline for a short story or narrative poem. There’ll be time to answer your questions or advise you on your writing projects; but mainly to inspire you to write. With expert tutor David Richardson. David has been teaching creative writing classes for over 20 years. During this time, he has worked on the coalface of writing as a copywriter in the motoring industry.

It is an excellent background to make his one-day workshops not only fun but also focused and fulfilling. The workshop is perfect as a standalone activity but also provides a foundation for learners who may wish to return in the new academic year for a longer course with David.

This course is designed to get you as involved as possible - this includes identifying, picking and tasting a range of wild species that will be found on the day. There will also be samples of wild food and drink for everyone to get stuck into and a pre-made wild snack! The focus with all of our workshops is on the 4 'F's of Foraging: Fungi, Fruit, Flowers and Foliage . We aim for an array of these elements on every session we run (weather and season permitting!) Event sold out or can't make this date? Head to www.foragebox.co.uk/workshops or view our Eventbrite profile to browse all available sessions. What To Expect Our 'Forage & Nibble' workshops are exactly that: you will spend the day learning how to forage with your tutor and then be treated to a 'wild snack' to put it all into context! These have become our most popular events and are available at numerous locations around the country. DURATION: 3 hours (approx 2.5 hours of foraging and 30 mins preparing and eating your wild snack) We like to keep some elements a surprise for the day, but here is what you can expect from your foraging workshop: a short introduction regarding the safety and format of the day discussions around foraging tips, safety, ethics, etiquette, sustainability and the law a circular walking route taking in different growing environments around the site. Expect a route of around 2-3km predominantly on footpaths a closer look at edible wild species and any poisonous lookalikes by a professional forager a chance to slow the pace of modern life down, meet new people and immerse yourself in a soul-nourishing activity, reconnecting with nature and discovering new flavours small tasters of wild food - this may even include freshly-picked items straight from the wild and a wild snack. Your wild snack might be something we find on the day freshly cooked in the woods, a hunk of homemade sourdough with some wild pickles and preserves, or even a big slice of cake (our tutors are decent cooks too so it could be something even better!) our workshops are run in a welcoming and informal fashion, where attendee questions and contributions are encouraged after the event, you will be sent a follow-up email containing a list of everything we found on the day. Please do not expect photos or descriptions in this email - it is purely a list for reference purposes, and we find it helps people do further research in their own time. Please note: as with most of our events, this is an educational experience and not a 'basket-filling' session . At the end of the session, there may be a small selection of our wild products and workshop vouchers available to purchase (card and cash accepted). This is a recent element of our events after enough attendees made enquiries about it - there is no pressure to buy anything having already bought tickets but sometimes people want a souvenir to take with them! Please speak to your tutor about this at the end. Who Is This Workshop For? These events are perfect for everyone - families, bushcrafters and dog-walkers alike! Nobody is made to feel out of their depth or silly for not knowing what certain things are, so these events suit absolute novices to more experienced hobby foragers alike. We strongly believe that foraging is for everyone , with all demographics welcome, regardless of age, ability, gender or ethnicity. Please read our FAQs further down the page to find out about dogs, children and mobility. IMPORTANT INFORMATION KIT LIST: What to bring with you DIETARY REQUIREMENTS: You will be asked for any dietary requirements when completing your booking. Please note that our workshops may not be suitable for vegans and coeliacs unless you inform us of these dietary requirements in advance - we may use butter or bread, for example.

Attendees are encouraged to walk, cycle or use public transport to get to the destination.

Please be considerate when leaving your car and do not block gates or access for other road users. TOILETS: Toilets are not available at this venue. Please arrive well in time for the start of the workshop, allowing extra time for the distance from your parked car to the meeting point and any toilet trips - we don't tend to wait for late-comers! Your foraging guide for the day should arrive on site at least an hour before the start and will start gathering the group together approximately 15 minutes before the official start time. If you cannot find your tutor around that time, there is a chance you are looking in the wrong place, so please check the event information for the exact location (not the postcode) Signage can sometimes be limited, so keep an eye out for anyone with a foraging basket! Minimum number of guests for this event to go ahead: 8 people PLEASE NOTE: We do not provide guests with a contact telephone number for your tutor. This is for privacy purposes but also because it is impractical to do so - your tutor simply wouldn't be able to take a call whilst with a group.
