Steps for Life - Walking for Families of Workplace Tragedy is a fun 5 km fundraising walk to help support families affected by life-altering workplace injuries, illnesses and deaths. It’s a unique way to educate your community about the devastating ripple effects of a workplace tragedy and how we can work together to prevent others from being injured or killed on the job. You can make a difference too.
This year we are planning to host an in-person Steps for Life walk, however the option to participate from home is still available. Each in-person Steps for Life event will follow all applicable public health requirements or guidelines.

Beholding something made by hand brings joy. And there’s no doubt that original art makes your home, garden, or office more beautiful and unique to you. Knowing the artist and learning about how they work connects you directly to that artwork. We wish you a memorable art experience on our tour.
Plan your tour to see what your favourite artists are up to and take in sites where you’re unfamiliar with the media. You’ll be amazed at the variety of work and processes we have to share with you.
Our tour is one giant show and tell, with demonstrations, “give it a whirl” activities, special displays about our processes, and conversations with artists who are happy to share.
Many of our tour artist’s work is inspired by the environment which is defined as the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives. Step into an artist’s studio and explore the environment from which they create on the Lake Scugog Studio Tour.

Yesterday is Melting encapsulates a relentless pursuit of public agency in the face of colonial power, systemic oppression, and increasing genesis amnesia. Each work implicates audiences to acknowledge how we observe and participate in history. Sandy Williams IV strikes a balance in tension—interplaying the untouchable and the malleable, the passage of time and the infallible memory, the transparent and the concealed.
Additional works by ANTIESTABLISHED (Kate Turner, Warren Jones, and Williams), Mariana Parisca, and Monsieur Zohore respond to Williams’ engagement in the emancipation of public space. Together their disparate works unravel common structures of power and repression in the Americas.
