A Collection Built on Relationships
September 30, 2024 to February 28, 2025
Reception: Saturday, October 5 from 1 PM – 3 PM
Curated by Felicity Pope and Olinda Casimiro
The idea for this exhibition emerged as an effort to inform our community about Inuit culture. The objects in the Marsh Collection are a window into a crucial point in Inuit history and art history, a period of profound cultural change, yet since they arrived at the AGN in 1976, they had never been thoroughly researched. In 2021, working alongside Felicity Pope, co-curator of this exhibition, we began to ask what it would take to bring these objects to the AGN community.
Over the next three years, Felicity spearheaded extensive research into the history of the Marsh Collection and the historical context in which it was assembled, re-connecting these works to their communities of origin and, where possible, to the names of the artists who made them. We consulted with Isabelle Avingaq Choquette, Curator at Avataq Cultural Institute, Montreal, to gain a better understanding of their materials, preservation, and the contemporary learnings that inform their presentation in the exhibition and here, in this catalogue.
In 2015, the Canadian Museums Association (CMA) was named in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #67, calling on galleries and museums to address their colonial origins and bring their policies and practices into alignment with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). This included the delivery of a report, Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums, completed in 2022, that includes recommendations that will guide museums and galleries across the country as we work towards reconciliation.
Conceived the same year as Governor General Mary Simon became the first Indigenous person to hold the position in Canada, A Collection Built on Relationships seeks to contribute to this work by opening important discussions about the AGN’s role in Canada’s colonial history. This exhibition and this catalogue provide us with an opportunity to pause, reflect, and contemplate works of art that continue to inform the fabric of our cultural heritage.

Embracing the Crone
Location: Mystic Avenue Yoga & Wellness Studio, 24 King St. E. Colborne
JThroughout history, the feminine journey has been described through the sacred cycle of Maiden, Mother, and Crone—each phase carrying its own wisdom and gifts.
The Maiden is youth, discovery, and new beginnings. She embodies curiosity, independence, and potential.
The Mother is creation, nurturing, and growth—whether through raising children, birthing projects, or tending to the world with love and care.
The Crone is wisdom, transformation, and deep inner knowing. She is the elder, the seer, the woman who has walked through life’s challenges and emerged with clarity and strength.
This workshop is a celebration of the Crone, honouring the unique power and wisdom that comes with midlife and beyond. As we step into this phase, we are invited to embrace our intuition, release old roles, and claim the sovereignty of our authentic selves. The Crone is not just about aging—she is about living with depth, truth, and power.
Who is this for?
This gathering is for women who are stepping into or already embodying the Crone phase—whether through menopause, aging, or simply a shift into a deeper wisdom. It is a space to honour the transitions of midlife and beyond, to reflect on the gifts of experience, and to claim the power of the Wise Woman within.
While the Crone’s wisdom is universal, this space is specifically held for women in midlife and later years who wish to explore, embrace, and celebrate this phase of life. If you are drawn to this transition, seeking guidance, or ready to stand fully in your truth, you are welcome here.
What to Expect:
Explore the Crone’s meaning through myth and storytelling
Reflect on the gifts of aging, wisdom, and personal transformation
Engage in a guided meditation to connect with your inner Crone
Participate in ritual and creative expression
Share in a supportive, sacred space with other Wise Women
Come as you are—whether you are embracing, resisting, or simply curious about this phase. This is a space for reverence, renewal, and deep connection with the Wise Woman within.

Welcome small-scale flower farmers from Northumberland (and Peterborough, Durham, and Quinte regions)! Kelsey Jibb of Cold Springs Flower Farm is hosting an event to reconnect, reflect on the past season, and share ideas for the upcoming year. This meet-up is designed to be both supportive and inspiring, giving us all a chance to recharge for the season ahead, while learning from one another.
This in-person event will take place at The Old Camborne School House located at 3441 Albert's Alley, from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm. You are welcome to drop in at any time during the event hours. Please bring a labelled potluck dish to share with the group.
We're excited to offer a seed swap at this year's meet-up! Bring along your extra seeds—flower, herb, or vegetable varieties are all welcome—to trade and share with fellow flower farmers. Seeds should be viable, clean, and clearly labelled with the flower or plant type, variety name, and year harvested. Unique or heirloom seeds are encouraged, but not required!

Winter Walks - Wildlife Detective
Winter is a great time to become a wildlife detective. We might not always see all of the animals at Presqu'ile but they leave us clues to help us figure out just who might be living in the park.
Join our park naturalist and use your detective skills to explore the tracks and signs the animals at Presqu’ile leave behind. This program is geared toward children and families, but anyone is welcome to attend.
We meet at the Trail Parking Lot (between the two picnic areas)
Please remember a vehicle permit is required for entry into the park all year long.
If you have an annual permit, please ensure it is on display.
You can purchase your daily vehicle permit online at https://reservations.ontarioparks.com/
