Bronze and new studio

Hey there Bingoragers! I have spent most of the last two weeks moving into and organising my new space in Devlin Ontario, just west of town. The space has a storefront that I am going to man on a part-time basis to troll for the tourist traffic.

The big windows also afford much light to see the works in new ways. Maybe you'll get a chance to stop in and check it out.

Random resources, news and stuff:

Jack Layton's letter to Phil Fontaine, in response to the May 15 Canadian Club speech.

CBC report: How the media covers aboriginal issues.

"As Aboriginal issues in Canada grow in importance in today’s news agenda, there was a remarkable gathering of journalists at CBC Regina on Thursday that was exhilarating in its scope.

The session was historic at the CBC. For the first time, it brought together 20 CBC Aboriginal journalists from across Canada, about half of the CBC’s total number, and they were joined by a similar number of reporters, producers and other CBC journalists who deal with Aboriginal issues as part of their job.

The conference was titled ‘Aboriginal Matters’ and it was an effort to ‘celebrate’ and ‘learn from’ the high-caliber work by CBC journalists in the past year reflecting the stories of Aboriginal individuals and communities across the country."

Pikangikum First Nation has been dealt another series of blows. Three suicides in quick succession and the loss of their school, by arson.
