“It gave me more meaning to my current group of friends, all around me, to always welcoming me in their hearts as I do them. ‘Come, let me show what you are capable of, I like you, I love you, for who you are.’ I have always belonged to many foundations growing, and mainly of family and friends feeding me a beautiful life.” - Terry Uyarak
“The online wailing wall or maybe the Goliath of our generation. Social media therapy is what we need. Social media therapy is a necessity.” - Pierre Kwenders
“Flowers On My Bedside is a song for empowerment. I wrote it when I was in a sad place and it was a very healing experience, to take a hard situation and turn it into something that feels creatively inspiring.” - Bella White
Fest News: Wintersong sounds out over Stouffville
By Will McGuirk
You may need hats, just saying.
Wintersong, the Stouffville and environs based festival features the Men Without Hats, along with headliners, Stars, Dan Mangan, and Ombiigizi, and Kiwi Jr. Over two days, Jan 20/21 2023 over 50 acts in multiple venues and outdoor locations. Thats some feat for the organisers but these organisers had been involved in the Guinness World Record for longest Concert so easy peasy yah.
Great line-up of locals too, and its such a lovely downtown too, historic, and walkable, and last time I was there, for the record breaking event, such kindness shown. And just on the border of both Toronto and Durham Region so all roads etc.
