Grimsby Museum March Break ready

The Grimsby Museum is getting ready for a series of fun activities and workshops to be held over the course of the March Break.

“There’s a variety of things to do over the course of the week, so there’s something there for everyone,” said museum assistant curator Colleen Laverdiere.

Kicking things off on Monday, March 13, is Club Rex. Club Rex is a travelling dinosaur workshop for all ages, providing a hands-on experience with dinosaur bones, like teeth and skulls.

One of the most anticipated events of the week is the Forever Fairest Princess experience on Tuesday, March 13.

Elsa and Anna, from the popular movie “Frozen”, will be making an appearance at the museum, offering an evening of enchanted storytell- ing and featuring classic songs from both Frozen 1 and 2. Forever Fairest runs from 11 a.m.- Noon, and photo opportunities will be provided.

March 15, the Crock a Doodle workshop will be taking place from 1-2 p.m., and again from 3-4 p.m. Participants can create and paint their own animal pottery.

March 16, the Family Gemstone Aromatherapy Bracelet workshop will be hosted from 1-3 p.m. Both parents and kids will get the chance to be led in a guided meditation by Cheryl from Coconut Quartz, and use stones, beads, and crystals to create bracelets from scratch.

Finally, March 17 from 1-2 p.m. and from 2:30-3:30 p.m., Little Ray’s Reptile Show takes over - described by Laverdiere as “the grand finale”. For more information, call the Grimsby Museum at 905-945-5292.

Notice of Intention to Designate

TAKE NOTICE THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Grimsby intends to designate 19 Elm Street to be of cultural heritage value or interest under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act:

19 Elm Street

THE REASON, for the proposed designation is to recognize the architectural value of the building in context of its contribution to the heritage character of the Town of Grimsby.

19 Elm Street was constructed in 1880, built with structural masonry construction. The gothic building is one of few patterned brick buildings within Grimsby. The exterior utilizes red and buff brick, which was placed on the façade to highlight features and enhance gothic designs. The original wood windows can be found throughout the exterior of 19 Elm Street. The styles of the wood windows include a rose window in the top center gable, which is above double lancet arch windows with a quatrefoil opening in the center, lancet windows on nave of the church, and colored glass sash windows throughout.

The historic church found at 19 Elm Street was built by Charles Woolverton, and was the central gathering point for the Baptist community in 1880. Charles Woolverton was the son of Dennis Woolverton, reformer in politics and a member of the Upper Canada’s legislative assembly from 1834-1836. Father of Linus Woolverton a successful journalist as well as farmer and fruit innovator with many honorable appointments and achievements.

The structure is located on a prominent corner in the downtown. The building is compatible with the surrounding structures, a majority of them being built in the late 1800’s. The church is adjacent to other designated properties.

ANY PERSON may within thirty days of the publication of this notice, send by registered mail, or deliver to the Town Clerk of the Corporation of the Town of Grimsby his or her objection to the proposed designation, together with a statement of the reasons for the objection and all relevant facts. When a Notice of Objection has been received, the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Grimsby will refer the matter to the Ontario Land Tribunal for a hearing.

Indigenous sculpture planned for Jordan Hollow cultural park

Two site-specific Indigenous public artworks have been chosen for permanent installation in Jordan Hollow Indigenous Cultural Park - located at 3039 King St.

The artworks represent a significant step towards Reconciliation by promoting Indigenous culture and celebrating the work of contemporary Indigenous artists, say Town officials.

The project is a joint initiative of Town of Lincoln and Plenty Canada, which received a non-repayable contribution of $180,000 through the Government of Canada’s Tourism Relief Fund, delivered by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), to support this project to include art within the park.

The first piece, titled “Water Scroll,” is a 13’ aluminum sculpture created by the artist team Kath- ryn Corbiere (Anishinaabe-kwe/ M’Chigeeng First Nation) and Sophie-Ann Edwards (Kagawong).

Water Scroll will evoke the curving shapes of the Twenty Mile Creek waterway and will include Indigenous languages engraved throughout. The artwork will symbolize the strong connection between Indigenous people and water, and the deep respect that Indigenous cultures have for the natural world.

The second piece, “Two Row Helix” is a 12’ sculpture by artist team David Beyer (Fisher River Cree First Nation / Toronto, ON) and Lilly Otasevic (Toronto, ON). The sculpture is a colorful and vibrant depiction of a ribbon-like form evoking the powerful symbols of the Two Row Wampum belt and the DNA helix. The sculpture evokes meaning in the way it illustrates our connections to one another and the natural world.
