Simcoe County has long dreamed of having a comprehensive university to provide undergraduate and graduate university programs to students closer to home, and research expertise to meet the needs of the region. With the strong support of the communities we serve, Lakehead-Orillia welcomed its first students in the fall of 2006 and will soon be home to over 1,000 students making their dreams come true in the state of the art classrooms, laboratories, and the learning commons at our new permanent site campus, and at our heritage campus in downtown Orillia. Lakehead-Orillia is a satellite campus of Lakehead University, a comprehensive university which, for close to half a century, has been committed to excellence and innovation in undergraduate and graduate teaching, service, research and other scholarly activity. Lakehead-Orillia shares the University’s long-standing commitment
to student-centred learning and its interest in educating students who will be recognized for leadership and independent critical thinking and who are aware of social and environmental responsibilities. Lakehead-Orillia has already established itself as a welcoming and accessible institution known for enabling students at all stages of life to achieve their potential. Our students are looking to make a difference in their own lives and in the communities they will become a part of. Our classes are small, we know the names of our students, and our students know that we are here for them and that we are dedicated to their success. Our faculty are engaged teachers who share a passion for helping students realize their dreams through inquiry-based, interdisciplinary study. Our faculty are also researchers producing knowledge and innovations which will assist Simcoe County in this time of economic, environmental and social transformation.

Just steps away from the serene shores of Barrie’s Kempenfelt Bay is a healing and beautifying source known as Lakeview Surgery Centre. In 2009, Dr. Emad Guirguis took his general surgery practice to a refreshing, refined, new environment, one that was far removed from the at-times urgent, stressful atmosphere of a hospital. He tells PIE why he made the move: “We had a vision. We wanted a fully accredited surgery centre of excellence in a very tranquil and serving setting, surrounded by nature.” After lengthy consultations with health care design engineers, architects, and specialists in ventilation and air filtration for surgery centres, detailed construction began. Nine months later, on the morning of May 27th 2009, Lakeview’s handsome wooden doors opened to the public. Ever since, extremely satisfied patients have been telling friends and family about the warm atmosphere and top-flight care they’ve received from Dr. Guirguis and his fully qualified nursing team.

And really, that success comes as no surprise, when you consider that a person’s immediate surroundings can affect their overall well-being. As many health care professionals confirm, a happy mind can equal a happy body. Patients coming to Lakeview Surgery Centre are always awed by its beautiful interior, highlighted with vistas of the peaceful bay below. It really is the perfect atmosphere to sit down and chat with Dr. Guirguis about what Lakeview can do for you. “We provide compassionate and comprehensive care. You’ll feel valued and respected while under our care,” he assures.

The centre offers a broad range of general and cosmetic surgery services, from UltraShape body contouring to Botox treatments, to skin cancer surgery, carpal tunnel decompression, thyroidectomies, dermal fillers, removal of cysts and lymphomas, and more. True, there are a number of places in Ontario that offer those same services. But how many of them are nestled near a lake, a natural setting that in itself is a fulfilling destination?

Proper etiquette and hospitality is crucial to necessitate a healthy career as a social butterfly, both recreationally and professionally. Each issue is created as a book-a-zine for a luxury lifestyle market which presents the achingly tasteful through the filter of a national mindset. Our goal is to nurture and inspire global and local talent, so that our growing pool of talent and readers can benefit from this visual medium as a muse. This issue of Pie Magazine is all about etiquette and hospitality. As you flip through the pages, I hope you are seduced into action and inspired to have a gathering yourself. Allow the contents of our visual playground to stimulate your mind and release your own creative visions and thoughts. The journey of Imagozine and Pie Magazine convinces me that I am lucky, as lucky now as I was when it all began. Collaborating with and discovering talent to build a collection of images and prose that is truly unique, with a stimulating dialogue replete with a fresh and artisitic visual spirit that emboldens contemporary commercial photography. I love quick and stylish ideas and the work we do in Pie makes me feel like I am doing my part to to provide a lifestyle magazine with amazing talent that put forth the effort to inspire us. I am excited about featuring talent such as hometown Barrie photographer Chris Woods, music journalist Jim Barber, stylist Paris Libby, as well as Dean Karr who shared his family trip to Hawaii with us. These are creative and inspirational artists who have also paved their own way and as I continue my journey I realize that talent is endless and seeking this talent for each issue has become some what of an easy task, it’s just knowing when to stop that’s hard! Always looking for a fresh approach to fashion, music, international affairs, culture, decor, design, food and entertaining. Pie Magazine will be adding more columns in each issue, such as a jet-setting lifestyle component. We will continue breaking walls between fashion, culture, music and politics for both men and women.

cleanse, purify & detox
“The Universal Contour Wrap 3-Pack was really an inner and outer process for me. On an inner level, I really wanted to cleanse the cells in my body and rev up the natural functioning of my organs and internal systems. Kind of like taking my car into the shop for routine maintenance. It felt good knowing that I was taking time out for me in the midst of my busy schedule. On an outer level, I feel greater levels of energy, my skin is softer and I’m craving healthy snacks. As an added bonus, 8.5 inches are now gone - POOF!! It’s nice to sit back, relax and add wraps and other slim services to my regular exercise and health regime.”

CHRIS WOODS: AN EYE IN THE SKY A View From the Top of Mount Olympus. In the modern world of media, the eye behind the lens is our god. With talent, photographs immortalize and films make miracles, transcending reality, space and time. Forever, Chris Woods is one of the almighty artists. Amen. He calls Barrie his home, and the world his stage. He says humbly, “my career has taken me to a lot of different places. NYC, LA, Chile, Uruguay, Jamaica, Cuba, Africa, Portugal, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, P.E.I., Chicago, Nova Scotia, France, Brussles, Argentina, Texas, Costa Rica... it’s pretty crazy to think that taking pictures has allowed me to go to all of these places.” In the past decade, he has done hundreds of photo shoots. A director for the past five years, he estimates that he has worked on over 50 commercials. He’s still young and has proven invincible in the industry. As a god knows no bounds in the universe, a celestial mind such as the creative genius of Chris Woods is also limitless.
What is the biggest assignment you have been given? In photography there was this Nike campaign that we traveled to two provinces and five states producing ads with NHL stars. In motion there have been a few big ones but I’d have to say the Mini Cooper job I’m on now is the biggest. What high profile photo shoots have you done? I guess celebrity pictures like Leonard Cohen, Pink and Alice Cooper would be considered ‘high profile’ but not necessarily the ones I most proud of. What is your powerful new collection? I was lucky enough to go to Rwanda to do the cinematography on a documentary. I took a ton of photos which ended up being some of the best work (in my opinion) I’ve done to date. It might be because I wasn’t shooting a ‘job’ or for anyone else but myself. It just felt effortless and made me realize that I need to get back into shooting for myself. The images produced in this way are so much more meaningful and fulfilling. Directing...what makes you unique? Coming from a photography background, I understand lighting, composition and framing which a lot of directors leave to the cinematographers. Do we see film in your future? What direction is your career going in and what influenced you along the way? Definitely. I’m concentrating on commercials right now but long format is something I am very interested in. Although I would never give up photography I feel like my career is going more towards directing. Who knows though, a career tends to lead you more than you leading it and I’m excited either way. When did you start shooting? Where did you go to school? I started shooting skateboarding when I was around 16 or so but professionally for almost 9 years now. I went to Georgian College for graphic design and dropped out to go to Humber College for photography, where I dropped out again. How has the business changed since you started?
getting shot in studio and pieced together rather than just going on location. How do you get to shoot such high profile clients? Just like any other profession you start off and work your way up I guess. I was lucky that it happened pretty quickly for me. I shot my first big job about a week out of assisting. I got to know a lot of people in the industry through assisting. I had my portfolio ready to go the day I decided to stop assisting and I just went out and bugged people until they started hiring me. What is your biggest accomplishment? The biggest accomplishment is just being in a position to take pictures for a living. It’s not an easy career path but I’m lucky enough to do it everyday. What do you feel is your most iconic/riveting picture? A portrait of Leonard Cohen I took a while ago. The strange thing is that I don’t have a reason why. There’s a thought and an expression I can’t quite figure out which makes it interesting for me. Where do you want to see your work published? My big goal when I started was to get into Rolling Stone magazine which I did with a portrait of Billy Idol. What client work has given you the most popularity? Any big name clients will help in that respect; celebrity photography does the same thing, which is weird because a shot of Alice Cooper will get noticed but if it was the exact same photo of one of my friends no one seems to care (photographically).
Budgets are getting smaller and the market is getting saturated with retouchers that can save bad photography. More things are

How do you go from meeting a person for the first time to making them comfortable in front your camera? Personality and confidence has a lot to do with making people feel comfortable. I spend as much time as possible before the shoot just hanging out with them before we do anything on set. Your work is epic and intimate. What is the experience for you? Is it personal? How do you describe the moment you are in when you are shooting? Commercial work tends to wash over me a bit, its not personal at all. There’s other peoples’ money and interests involved so you can’t expect to do exactly what you want to do all of the time, (which has taken me a really long time to learn). Anything I shoot for myself is completely different. When I’m shooting for myself there are no ‘filters’ or other peoples’ interests I have to cater to so it becomes more creative and interesting. Also, I can stop when I’m not ‘feeling it,’ a luxury I don’t have while on assignment. If you could set the frame right now for your picture of your life as you know it... what would it look like? Probably a Picasso painting: I’m all over the place and a bit of a mess but very beautiful and interesting (you were probably looking for a photo reference there but....). Who is your role model? My mom. Can we expect a book of your work? Eventually I’d like to put out a book... no idea when though. What does it take to capture the life in an image? Do you find yourself in it? Instincts play a big part in capturing an image. The best shots I take are not over thought. Not sure about finding myself in them but I do learn a lot about myself through the photos I take.
