We wish to thank artist Terry Ananny for graciously allowing us to use one of her artworks for our poster.
 
Canadian artist Terry Ananny’s colourful paintings of hockey, children at play and seasonal village scenes have been capturing the spirit and joy of Canadian life for over three decades. The artist’s early years spent in summer on Lake Muskoka and travelling to Quebec enriched her with life long impressions of the spectacular Canadian landscape and diverse Canadian culture.
 
Painting of Children Skiing by Terry Ananny
Her paintings can be found in the collections of Canadian Prime Ministers, Governor Generals and the Government of Canada and are also seen in many corporate collections such as hospitals, boardrooms and sports leagues. Her work has been reproduced on UNICEF and Hallmark Christmas cards and was commissioned for a Canadian coin design in 2000. Some of her work in the Ottawa area can be seen at Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Ottawa Hosipital, CHEO, Wilson House and the Ottawa Senators.

Bobby Bruce as Nearly Neil

6:00 pm – Bobby Bruce as Nearly Neil

At the Holiday Trails Stage

Bobby Bruce has been entertaining audiences all over the world since the 1990’s. Over twenty-five years into his Nearly Neil journey, Bruce, 54, lives with his wife, Leanne, off the coast of Vancouver, BC on Gambier Island in the Howe Sound. When all touring was suddenly out of the question in early 2020, they adapted to life off-the-road by starting a volunteer essential goods delivery service to ensure food security in their community. Both awarded Gambier Island Citizen of the Year in 2020, and the BC government recognizing their volunteerism with a Medal of Good Citizenship in 2021.

In October 2022, Bobby was able to resume international touring and returned to Europe with a highly successful tour with a newly configured Solitary Band. He leaves in mid-March for his first concert tour in Australia since 2019.

“I am grateful to return to the stage. The last few years were devastating for live arts, and we’re still coming back. I count myself lucky to be able to do what I love.” smiles Bobby Bruce.
