Ian Angus recently had his work covered by the local paper – that is, in the town in which he grew up. The Ontario newspaper relayed, “Ian was inspired to write the book because of all the misinformation he was seeing in the media about the Anthropocene and how this new era was affecting the planet. ‘It’s not a simple topic, but what I was trying to do, was take the science and make it accessible to lay readers,’ he says…. He is currently working on another book focusing on the underlying drivers that cause human society to conflict with nature and create rifts in the metabolic cycles of the planet.”
A new talk show is looking to help residents learn more about the local business community.
LoveNG Live is a community-based initiative, created to promote local businesses and bring us the stories behind North Grenville’s entrepreneurs.
With hosts, Hilary Thomson and Daren Givoque, the show will be broadcast live weekly, providing a platform for business leaders, or people representing local charities and organizations.
“There’s so many businesses, I was almost shocked when we had our first discussions on this,” Givoque said during a virtual press conference. “There are over 2,000 businesses locally that many people probably don’t know about. So, it’s exciting to bring these stories forward, and maybe entertain people, have a few laughs, and make some connections.”
Local publishing company focuses on highlighting local stories
The Canadian Press 2020-12-17
Merrickville is the home of an independent publishing company, focused on highlighting the untold stories of Ontario’s local history.
Owner, Bruce Kemp, started the Waypoint Press four years ago just before he moved to Merrickville from Kelowna, B.C. “British Colombia has a thriving regional history program in terms of publishing, and they do a great job on it,” Bruce notes. “But unfortunately, Ontario has dropped the ball on that.”
As an award-winning writer and photographer himself, Bruce saw a niche particularly around Great Lakes history. He published his first book with Waypoint, Weather Bomb 1913: Life and Death on the Great Lakes,in 2017 which was about a rare white hurricane that ravaged the area. “Oddly enough that’s still selling very well,” Bruce says.
